Easy Malted Milk Balls Recipe
Want a tasty handmade dessert? Make delicious malted milk balls! I'm a candy fan, and nothing beats the crunch of a malted milk ball covered in rich chocolate. With my step-by-step directions, you can make these tasty treats at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup malted milk powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 12 ounces chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the malted milk powder, powdered sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the ingredients together until smooth.
- Step 2: Add the crispy rice cereal to the bowl and use a spatula to gently fold it into the malted milk mixture. You want to be careful not to crush the cereal, so use a light touch.
- Step 3: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the malted milk mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 4: Melt the chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl, following the instructions on the package. Use a fork to dip each frozen malted milk ball into the chocolate, tapping off any excess. Place the coated balls back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Step 5: Once all the malted milk balls are coated in chocolate, return them to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Step 6: Remove the malted milk balls from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
