About it
Moose Tracks was created in the 1980s by a Michigan ice cream company that licensed the name widely, which is why the same flavor, same name, and same moose illustration appear in freezers across brands. The formula is fixed by license: vanilla base, chocolate cups, fudge ribbon.
Storing it
Temper briefly so the fudge ribbon loosens without the cups turning greasy. Keep it airtight against odors.
Using it
Scoop moose tracks into a bowl with warm fudge sauce, or blend it into a thick shake with a little milk. Serve the fudge ribbon softened, not frozen hard.
Swaps & pairings
Any peanut butter cup flavor is near-identical in formula. Homemade vanilla with chopped cups and fudge sauce builds the same bowl.
