Malted Milk Candy Bon Bon Recipe

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

We are chocolate malted milk ball lovers here. This is the closest in taste of real malted milk balls that we have made for more than three decades! Taste similar to malted milk balls just more like a truffle.

8 ounces of good grade white chocolate (I used Lindt)
1 cup or more of instant vanilla color malted milk powder ( Carnation makes this in a jar in your local supermarkets.)
12 ounces of good grade milk chocolate melted (use the microwave stirring every 20 seconds until melted or by using a double boiler)

Melt white chocolate and mix with the malted milk powder, if it seems not to hold it's shape, add more malt to the white chocolate. Shape into balls. Dip into melted chocolate using two spoons for dipping and let dry on parchment paper till set. Place in festive paper cup. You can decorate them with sprinkles or jelly beans if you like.

Wish I had thought of this one, I have a big jar of malted milk powder and I just love whoppers. Looks like I will not be buying whoppers anymore, the truffle texture definitely beats those hard things! Enjoy the day Claudia!

My kids used to love these. Before Target opened stores where we live, we would travel about 15 miles to get to a store. We always bought a box of malted milk balls for the trip home. I'll have to make these for their Easter baskets.

Oh, how fabulous, Claudia! I cannot have malted milk balls in the house...I'd eat them all. But I'm willing to make a sacrifice and make these delicious little gems!

You've got to be kidding me. I am the biggest malted milk ball lover ever. When I was pregnant with my daughter I ate them daily for 9 months. My daughter loves them as well, must be all that she ate while in my tummy.

This is so much fun, I can't wait to try these. I just need to get the malt powder. Thanks for sharing. Wow does it really taste like them?

Claudia, I had no idea how to make these, or that they were so doable. Much better-looking than the commercial ones!

Interesting idea to make a malted milk ball that is really a truffle-like treat.

You remain amazing! It would never occur to me to make these although I love them. Buona Pasqua, Claudia! May you have the loveliest day!
