When I was a kid, I’d heard of malted milk and chocolate malteds, but I’d never had one. I always imagined it was some sort of fancy milkshake or something.

Occasionally I’d get one of those awesome milk cartons full of Whoppers for Christmas – that was the best when I was a kid! But I never made the flavour connection between “malted milk” and “chocolate malt balls”. Duh. And it wasn’t until I was trying to come up with a homemade frappuccino recipe that I first bought some Ovaltine and discovered what it was all about. Have I mentioned “yum”? Yum. (more…)
