5 oz. Whoppers or other Malted Milk Balls, coarsely chopped
Instructions
For the Brownies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan.
Melt the chocolate chips, butter and instant coffee granules in a large bowl in the microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Whisk in the sugar and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time and then the vanilla.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder and salt and gently fold into the chocolate mixture, just until there are no white streaks and the flour mixture is incorporated. Pour into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the Chocolate Malt Frosting
Beat the butter at medium speed until smooth. Slowly beat 2 cups of the powdered sugar until thoroughly incorporated. Beat in 3 tablespoons of the milk or heavy whipping cream and the vanilla. Beat in the rest of the powdered sugar and milk/heavy whipping cream. Beat in the cocoa and malted milk powder at low speed and then beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until creamy and smooth. Spread frosting over cooled brownies and sprinkle with chopped Whoppers or other malted milk balls.
Notes
Makes 12-15 brownies.
*This makes a very thick layer of frosting so if you'd prefer less, I'd suggest making half of the frosting recipe.
