Pro Tips for Perfect Moose Farts:
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best dough consistency.
- If the dough is too sticky, chill it for a few minutes before rolling.
- Roll the balls in powdered sugar or cocoa powder for extra sweetness.
- For a chewier texture, use crushed graham crackers or pretzels instead of oats.
Variations
- Chocolate Overload: Add cocoa powder to the dough and sprinkle with extra chocolate shavings.
- Nutty Moose Farts: Mix in chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts for added crunch.
