Pro Chef Tips
- Chill Time Matters: For the best texture, don’t skip the chilling step. It helps the Moose Farts hold their shape and makes them easier to bite into.
- Super Smooth Peanut Butter: Opt for creamy peanut butter for a smoother consistency. Crunchy varieties can add an interesting texture, but be aware they might affect the overall shape.
- Mix It Up: Have fun with the ingredients! Try adding dried fruit, seeds, or using flavored chocolate chips to customize your bites.

Exploring different flavor twists for your Moose Farts is part of the fun! Consider these variations:
- Nut-Free: Omit nuts and consider adding sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
