Moose Farts. A super easy to prepare, no-bake cookie treat that kids will love and maybe giggle a little at the name too.
Moose Farts
Originally published Dec 2017.
Recently, a follower of the RockRecipes Facebook Page messaged me and asked if I had a recipe for Moose Farts! My first reaction was, of course… whaaaaat!!?
Then, suddenly I thought, wait, where have I heard that before. The nagging familiarness finally gave way to a memory of a trip to Gander for an event my daughter was participating in a couple of years ago.
On that weekend in Gander we ate at Rosie’s Diner and Bakery twice. Once for lunch and back again for breakfast the next morning. The diner food we had there was top notch.
Moose Farts
From the classic club house sandwich and fries I had for lunch, to the toutons and eggs the next morning. Rosie’s is definitely worth the few minutes off the TCH if you are driving through Gander.

The fabled Moose Farts.
As you enter Rosie’s, there is a small display from their in house bakery with fresh bread, cakes and cookies. I suddenly remembered looking at one of the display cases with Spouse and there was a handwritten sign in front of one of the piles of cookie trays.
It announced in bold letters “MOOSE FARTS”. So these were a thing after all.
I then made a few discreet enquiries with friends in Central, and found fewer degrees of separation than six. With this info I was able to procure a recipe that I was assured was a near facsimile of Rosie’s famous Moose Farts, if not the genuine article itself.

Having never tried Rosie’s Moose Farts, I can make no such declaration. Perhaps someone from Gander who knows them well, will have to try the recipe and give us a definitive opinion.
This no-bake cookie confection could not be easier to make, and would be an ideal snow day project if you have small kids about. I immediately sent the recipe to my nephews Nate & Luke in Edmonton, who are still in Primary School.
I know they will be thrilled to tell everyone at school they made “Moose Farts”. LOL! I can just see their grins now.

Is there a substitute for the sweetened condensed milk to make these dairy free for people with dairy allergies

I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Not many moose up here so I plan to call these treats Grizzly Farts. 😉 Whatever they are called, they are bound to be delicious no doubt. Thank you for posting this recipe Barry. 😀

Love these cookies. Tried rolling them in dry roasted peanuts I chopped in food chopper instead of graham cracker crumbs. Sweet and salty all in one. Delicious!!
