Malted Milk Candy Spheres
What it is
These are small, spherical candies featuring a crunchy, malted milk center coated in a thin layer of milk chocolate. The malted milk forms a unique, airy, and slightly crumbly texture that is distinct from solid chocolate or caramel fillings. The chocolate coating provides a sweet and familiar counterpoint to the malted flavor. They are a popular confectionery item enjoyed for their distinctive taste and texture combination.
How people cook with it
These candies are often enjoyed as a standalone snack. They can also be incorporated into various dessert preparations for added flavor and texture.
- Snacking on the go
- Adding to ice cream sundaes

- Using as a topping for desserts
The most common way to enjoy these candies is to eat them directly from the package. Their small size makes them easy to consume one or two at a time. For more elaborate uses, they can be crushed or chopped and sprinkled over ice cream, yogurt, or puddings. They can also be added to cookie dough before baking, or pressed into the tops of cupcakes for a decorative and flavorful finish. Some bakers even use them in the creation of candy bars or other confectionery treats.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining candies in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage will prevent the chocolate from melting and the malted center from becoming stale or absorbing moisture.
