I would be very interested in that recipe too, having tried to make malted milk balls myself without much success.........

I have made them before, but can't remember the ratio. Just temper white chocolate and malt powder. Those were the only two ingredients for the filling and were quite good.

you can also try a seafoam formula and wiggle in some malt powder.

bake first, ask questions later.
Oooh food, my favorite!

That's basically what I tried before.....sorta worked but the candy didn't have the right crunch that a true malted milk ball does. I think the big candy makers do it under high pressure or something.....at least that's what I've heard.

I found a similar recipe to what you're talking about and in that recipe the ratio was 1:1 (as in, one cup melted white chocolate and 1 cup malted milk powder).

Okay---here's the formula...

1 cup of white chocolate
1 cup of malted milk powder

Melt chocolate and stir in malted milk powder. Form into balls and dip in milk chocolate.

Hope this helps.

I tried it today and I'll be darned if it didn't work. Closest I've ever come to the real thing! I recommend it Jessiquina!

I'm not a pastry chef but I love to bake at home and I am going to try the recipe out! I have a h&s meeting on Monday so I'm going to hit the bulk barn before the meeting and get me some malted milk powder!
