Malted Milk… 1800s Health Food!

Invented in 1873 by a British pharmacist living in Wisconsin, malted milk was originally a health food for infants and invalids. Soon after, explorers used it on treks including the North and South Pole. In the 1930s and 40’s malted milk balls became a hit.

From the Medicine Cabinet to the Candy Counter…

One of the many treats that made the leap from the drug store to candy counter, like NECCO Wafers (also invented by a pharmacist) or Turkish Delight. A classic! This version is enrobed in mint chocolate. 4-oz heat-sealed bag with the history on the label.

Are malted milk balls healthy?

Although it might be stretching it a bit to claim malt balls are a healthy snack, they do provide some fiber, protein, calcium, and iron. Malt balls coated in dark chocolate have the highest daily value of fiber and iron. Malted Milk Cookies made with crushed malted milk balls are a fantastic snack.

Are malted milk balls the same as Whoppers?

Whoppers are malted milk balls covered with an artificially flavored "chocolatey coating" produced by The Hershey Company.

What is in the middle of a malted milk ball?

The center of a malted milk ball consists of malted milk powder and white chocolate or white coating bark combined, rolled into balls, and coated with milk chocolate. For creative fun or for holiday treats, sometimes people use other coatings.

Why are they called malted milk balls?

Malted milk or malt powder is a powdered gruel made from a mixture of malted barley, wheat flour, and evaporated whole milk powder. The powder is used to add its distinctive flavor to beverages and other foods, but it is also used in baking to help dough cook properly.
