Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Malted milk powder
- 0.5 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 0.5 cup Powdered nonfat dry milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine malted milk powder, confectioners' sugar, and powdered nonfat dry milk. Stir until evenly mixed.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until just melted, but not hot.
Gradually mix the melted butter and milk into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough-like consistency forms. If the dough feels too crumbly, add an additional teaspoon of milk, one at a time, until it holds together.
Roll small portions of the dough into bite-sized spheres (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter). Place the spheres on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the spheres in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
While the spheres are chilling, melt the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled malt sphere into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap off excess chocolate and return each coated sphere to the parchment-lined sheet.
Allow the chocolate-coated spheres to set in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Store the homemade Whopper candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for extended freshness.
