                                Malted milk powder was originally marketed as a health food supplement in the late 1880s, but it was quickly adopted for its sweet, distinct flavor. The crunchy center of a malted milk ball is made from this malted milk powder, combined with a sweet syrup, and then puffed and dried to achieve its signature airy texture.
