How to store Easy No-Bake Moose Farts
Keep them chilled: an airtight container in the refrigerator will hold them for up to two weeks (if they last that long). For longer travel, freeze on a tray until firm, then transfer to a zip-top bag with parchment between layers — pull them out 15 minutes before serving so the marshmallows soften.

FAQs
Q: Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
A: Quick oats will work in a pinch but the texture will be softer and less toothsome — rolled oats give you that desirable chew.
Q: Are these safe for kids with nut allergies?
A: Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or a safe seed spread and double-check all labels — marshmallows may contain gelatin, so be mindful of dietary restrictions.
Q: Can I bake these instead of chilling?
A: Baking defeats the no-bake charm and can dry them out. If you want a toasted effect, briefly broil just the tops for a few seconds, watching like a hawk, but refrigeration is the intended method.
Q: How long do they last at room temperature?
A: In cool conditions, a couple of hours is fine. In warm weather, keep them chilled to avoid melty chaos.
Q: Can I make them ahead for a party?
A: Yes — make them up to a week ahead and keep refrigerated. For transport, pack in a cooler with ice packs.
