2025 Update.
If you do a quick search for Moose farts recipe, you'll get hundreds of results. Back in December of 2017, there was only one. This very recipe.
Over the ears many blogs, and lifestyle sites have posted a Moose farts recipe. They are all the same and all of them started here.
Thanks for sticking with the Rock Recipes original!
Back to the original post.
Recently, a follower of the Rock Recipes 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.
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.

Made these for Valentine's Day with my granddaughter who had a disappointing day at school. We added snipped dried cherries, rolled them in pink and red sprinkles(yuck, but I am a grandma after all), and called them Cupid's Farts. Suddenly the disappointing day at school was funny and the boy who didn't notice her was no longer as cool as I was. Take that Mr. Not so Cool. You were replaced by Cupid Farts. Lol.
I put 2-3 tsp of cocoa powder in my cookies and it takes away some of the sweetness put they are still very good.
I made 4 of your cookie recipes for Christmas at our house as well as Christmas plates for family and friends. This is one of the recipes. Everyone loved them!
I'VE BEEN RECEIVING YOUR WONDERFUL RECIPES AND JUST GOT 'MOOSE FARTS' PEOPLE HAVE MENTION ADDING RUM.....BUT NO ONE HAS OFFERED THE AMOUNT.
THANKS!
I make deer poop, using crushed chocolate cookies and currents. make them small and use fine coconut. at Christmas add a few drops of peppermint into mix or roll in crushed candy cane
These are good. Grandkids love them. Can they be frozen.
Yes,indeed
I made these last year for the Kids next door. Aomethi8ng new for them to try, I did use the mini chocolate chips and they were perfect. All I know is ....being from the west coast: the kids renamed them "deer droppings". 🙂 I have been asked to make them again this year and to include the recipe for them. Thanks for the recipe and good laughs.
Every year for Christmas I have to make Moose Farts for my family & friends. They all love them. Quick & easy and fantastic tasting. Sometimes I swap Maple flavored sweetened condensed milk.
How do you do dried coconut!
Thank you
Merry Christmas 🎄
You can purchase dried coconut in the baking section of supermarkets or bulk food stores
I didn’t have any Graham cracker crumbs so I used Orio cookie crumbs that I had on hand. They were absolutely delicious! I told the kids they were Moose Toots 😉
Chocolate has never ruined anything!
Going out to get the ingredients to make these tomorrow, they will be a big treat on New Year's Eve. Thanks Barry, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hi Barry I love your recipes. please be in touch with me - I believe we may be related. PM me, please.

I make this delicious recipe but I substitute chocolate chips for scor chips.
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!!
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. 😀
