Whopper Brownies with Malt Buttercream Frosting

My friends, family and even those that I roomed with at SNAP! know that one thing I look forward when staying at any hotel… is breakfast when I get to eat a Belgian Waffle.  Why?… well because they use a special malted batter that makes my heart sing with every bite!

I LOVE malt…. malted shakes, malted waffles, malted candy… its all so delicious!  I learned something this year when walking down the aisle with all the hot chocolate and coffee at the grocery store.  You can actually BUY malt powder!  WHAT?!… I know!  This was a life changing moment for me.

Soon after my discovery of malt, I began to experiment.  Why not try making a malt frosting to top my favorite brownie recipe?!  The end result… Amazing!
