Remember bridge mix? My favorite part is the malted milk balls, crunchy and tender and malty. Mmm. Then I like the chocolate-covered raisins. The round things with the jelly inside are good, too. The peanuts? Someone else can eat those.Malted milk, the powder, was originally invented by Englishman James Horlick after he moved to Racine, Wisconsin! The original name was "Diastoid," but in a flash of marketing foresight, he trademarked the name "Malted Milk" in 1887. The powder was intended to be a non-perishable, high-calorie food supplement for infants and invalids. It gained popularity when arctic explorers began packing it on their trips, and was soon consumed for its taste rather than its nutritional qualities.
If I've rekindled a long lost taste in you for malted milk, maybe you'll want to try your hand at this recipe for Chocolate Malt Cake from thebakingpan.com!
