Moose Bites Chocolate Coconut Treats (Print Version)

Rich chocolate coconut bites with graham cracker coating, ready in under 30 minutes of active time.

# What You Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
02 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

04 - 1 1/2 cups dried shredded coconut
05 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, plus extra for rolling
06 - 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until completely smooth and homogeneous.
02 - Add the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
03 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour. The mixture should become firm enough to handle without sticking excessively.
04 - Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the mixture and roll between your palms to form 1 1/4-inch balls. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from warming up.
05 - Roll each ball in the extra graham cracker crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly to the surface.
06 - Arrange the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until completely set.
07 - Serve the moose bites chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These come together in just 15 minutes of active prep time, letting your refrigerator do all the hard work
  • The texture is absolutely perfect, with crunchy graham crackers meeting chewy coconut and melty chocolate pockets
02 -
  • The chilling time is crucial, as warm or sticky mixture will be nearly impossible to roll into neat balls
  • If your hands start sticking while rolling, lightly dampen them with cold water between every few bites
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing, which helps them chill and set evenly
  • Room temperature ingredients mix more easily, so let your condensed milk and butter sit out for 10 minutes before starting
