I posted a malted milk dip recipe for Easter and now that it is hot out, I thought I would do a slight twist on the recipe to create a chocolate malt dip. During the summer, chocolate malts are one of my favorite treats. Can we say Sonic? I love their malts! Oh, and they are half price after 8 PM right now. Even better!
This dip has the wonderful chocolate malt flavor of the milkshake variety, but without the ice cream. It is super easy to make and can be made ahead of time as well. I topped the chocolate malt dip with whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, and a cherry to create the full chocolate malt look 🙂
Serve with pretzels, fruit, graham crackers, wafers, or cookies. This will be a great dessert dip for your next summer cookout.
If you are not a malt fan (it isn’t for everybody), Â you could leave the malted milk powder out of the recipe and you’ll end up with a nice, creamy chocolate dip instead.

Chocolate malt dip sounds delicious! My daughter is always asking to make a chocolate dip. That is her most favorite dip ever! I need to get some malted milk powder.
Thanks Cindy! The dip is addicting. The malted milk powder never lasts long in my house…my husband loves malts 🙂
