Malted Milk Candies Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE MALTED MILK

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk, malted milk powder and chocolate syrup; cover and process until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses. Top with a dollop of whipped cream; serve immediately.

MALTED MILK FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and then line it with parchment so that the paper hangs over all the sides (this will allow you to remove the fudge from the pan).
• Combine the sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and salt in a large saucepot over high heat. Bring to a boil and then cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and malted milk powder. With the speed set to low, slowly pour in the boiling sugar mixture and paddle until well combined.
• Pour the fudge into the prepared pan; tap the pan to even out the fudge. Evenly sprinkle the broken malted milk balls over the top of the fudge and lightly press them down into the fudge.
• Chill the fudge until completely cooled, about 3 hours. Remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into squares.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream. Store any remaining fudge in an airtight container.

MALTED MILK CANDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees F.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wire whisk, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on med until soft peaks are formed.
• Sift the powdered sugar, powdered milk, barley powder and cocoa powder together and divide the mixture in half.
• Turn the mixer on med/hi and add one half of the sifted ingredients to the mixing bowl, one tablespoon at a time.
• When the mixture comes to stiff peaks, turn the mixer off and remove the bowl. Fold in the other half of the dry ingredient mixture until well incorporated.
• Place the mixture into a piping bag and pipe out candies onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
• Bake in oven for two hours.
• Turn oven off and prop the door open slightly. Allow to cool for one hour.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave.
• Dip the cooled candies into the chocolate to cover and place back on the parchment paper to set up.
• Once the chocolate has hardened, the candies are ready to eat.

MALTED MILK CHOCOLATE NOUGAT

Steps:

• Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until then sugar dissolves. Brush down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, then insert a candy thermometer. Cook without stirring until the temperature reaches 260 degrees. While you wait for the correct temperature, proceed to prepare the rest of the recipe.
• Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating. Stir until completely smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
• Place the room temperature egg whites in the clean bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When the syrup reaches 250 degrees, begin to beat the egg whites on medium speed.
• Once the sugar syrup reaches 260 degrees, remove the pan from the heat. I recommend that you pour the hot syrup into a large measuring cup with a spout or small pitcher to make this next step easier.
• Turn the mixer to high speed and slowly stream in the sugar syrup down the side of the bowl. Continue beating on high speed for about 5 minutes, until the egg whites are shiny, white, and stiff. Turn the mixer down and add the melted chocolate, salt, and malted milk powder. Mix until well-combined and smooth. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl very well.
• Scrape the nougat into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Allow it to cool at room temperature until completely set, then cut into small squares to serve.
• May, also, be partially or completely dipped in chocolate. Store Malted Milk Chocolate Nougat in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
