Malted Milk Ball Cupcakes / Frosting




I found this recipe online. I made some for Christmas. I think my Dad and husband were having a contest to see who could eat the most.

Malted Milk Ball Cupcakes

1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup malted milk balls, coarsely chopped/crushed**
1/4 cup malted milk powder
water, oil, and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 2/3 cups malted milk balls, crushed, for garnish**

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl mix cake mix, malted milk balls, and malted milk powder. Add water, oil and eggs. Beat on low about two minutes. Divide among muffin cups. Bake 21 to 26 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

**Put milk balls in freezer about 30 minutes for easier chopping/crushing
**Sprinkle over top after frosting

Malted Milk Ball Frosting

1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp malted milk powder
1 Tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa
2 Tbsp milk

Beat all until smooth on medium speed.

**I just crushed the milk balls and rolled the cupcakes around in them. You could also just sit a couple milk balls on top.
