Double Chocolate Peppermint Malts

From the looks of my Instagram feed, I think most of us set up our trees over the weekend.

We are knee-deep in the most wonderful time of the year, and despite my chagrin at finding glitter in every corner and crevice of the house, I could not be more excited.

The Christmas shopping is done and the trees adorned, so a cozy break in the glow of our handiwork is much-needed.

And, I really cannot think of anything better to sip beside the tree than these ultra rich, chocolate peppermint malts.

They taste like winter and you might find yourself going back for refills.

While nearly all of our ingredients are pretty standard here, malted milk powder is one thing you may not already have in your pantry. Malted milk powder is a combination of wheat flour, malted barley extracts, powdered milk, salt, and sodium bicarbonate. It is a weird animal, but the tang it lends is beautifully unexpected.

Malted milk powder can be a little difficult to find in grocery stores, but is readily accessible online. This past time, I ordered this brand and I have been very pleased with the results!

While it would be easy to simply skip this more obscure ingredient, I am begging you to resist. The flavor properties of malt are so special, and the tangy notes really help to balance out the rather absurd amount of chocolate we are going to throw into this thing.

Just before pouring, whip up a bit of fresh cream for topping. The extra sweetness cuts through some of the richness of this shake for perfect, holiday harmony.

I am planning to keep all of these simple ingredients on hand throughout the holiday season so I can whip up a batch or two for company or impromptu Christmas movie nights.

Christmas comes in a glass this year.

The big day is so very close and, while we may be short on excuses for more cookies, Christmas is the magical excuse for just about anything that brings joy. And believe me when I say that these little coconut clusters are joy in a bite.

I am delighted that you are here! My name is Ashlyn Bowden and I am The Pedantic Foodie. I find familiarity, tradition, and inspiration in the kitchen, and this little corner of the internet is where I share my culinary shenanigans and try to force my workaholic, type-A self into practicing this thing I like to call Intentional Living. Can we bake pastry together?
