Morphology

warm + fuzzy + moment

The overall sense can largely be inferred from the constituents: 'warm' signals affectionate/pleasant feelings and 'moment' indicates a short time, so a learner could guess a pleasant brief experience. However, 'fuzzy' must be extended metaphorically from a physical texture to a comforting/sentimental quality, a nuance that may not be fully predictable for a B1 learner, making the expression only partially transparent.

Etymology

Warm fuzzy moment uses the picture of something warm and fuzzy, like a soft blanket or a pet, to show a cozy, happy feeling. So it means 'a brief pleasant and touching' experience.
