Ingredients
- Vanilla Wafers: 1 box (11 ounces)
- Powdered Sugar: 3 cups
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 can (14 ounces)
- Butter: 1/2 cup, softened
- Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup
- Chopped Walnuts or Pecans: 1/2 cup (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Step 2: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
- Step 3: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Step 4: Crush the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Step 5: Add the crushed vanilla wafers and chopped nuts (if using) to the cream cheese mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Step 6: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, pressing gently so that they adhere. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set before serving.
Notes
- Store these "Moose Farts" in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
- While technically no-bake, a quick chill in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving will make them extra delightful.
- Serve these whimsical treats on a platter for a fun and unexpected dessert at your next gathering.
- For easier rolling, slightly dampen your hands with water – this prevents the mixture from sticking too much!
