Moose Bites No-Bake Chocolate Treats (Print-Friendly)

Rich chocolate coconut treats rolled in graham cracker crumbs

# What You'll 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 smooth and fully incorporated.
02 - Add the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture holds together.
03 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle without sticking.
04 - Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the mixture and roll into 1 1/4-inch balls, working quickly to prevent the mixture from warming.
05 - Roll each ball in extra graham cracker crumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
06 - Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until completely set. Serve chilled.
