About Malt ball

Malt balls are a classic confection consisting of a crisp malted milk center coated in a layer of smooth milk or dark chocolate. The malted center is made from wheat flour, barley malt extract, sugar, and milk powder, providing the distinct sweet and nutty flavor associated with these treats. Malt balls originate from early 20th-century Western candy traditions and have become a nostalgic favorite across various cuisines. While they offer a delightful crunch and satisfying sweetness, they are high in sugar and saturated fats, making them best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple. Due to their malt content, they also provide trace amounts of vitamins and minerals like potassium and magnesium, but these benefits are minimal compared to the sugar content. Ideal for snacking or as a dessert garnish, malt balls are cherished as indulgent bites of chocolatey goodness.
