What it is
These are classic candy confections featuring a crunchy, malted milk center coated in a layer of milk chocolate. The malted milk provides a distinct, slightly sweet and malty flavor that is a signature of this treat. The chocolate coating offers a smooth, sweet contrast to the airy, crumbly interior. They are a popular choice for snacking and baking.

Their unique texture adds an interesting element to baked goods, providing a satisfying crunch and a burst of malty chocolate flavor.
