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!
