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.

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.
