Malted Milk Balls: The Underrated Classic You’ll Love Again

They’re light, crisp, and coated in chocolate — but for some reason, malted milk balls never seem to get the attention they deserve. At Mueller Chocolate Co., we think it’s time to change that. This isn’t gas station candy. These are the real deal: rich, crunchy, old-school malt balls that bring back memories and still deliver on flavor.

What Makes a Great Malted Milk Ball?

It’s all about the balance. A perfect malted milk ball starts with a light, airy center that gives that satisfying snap — not too hard, not too soft. Then comes the chocolate coating. Ours is thick, smooth, and made from real milk or dark chocolate, depending on your preference. You won’t find chalky texture or waxy finishes here.

A Nostalgic Candy, Made Better

For many customers, chocolate malted milk balls are more than a snack — they’re a time capsule. The taste brings them back to movie theaters, corner stores, and simpler times. Ours keeps that spirit alive by using better ingredients and real chocolate. No shortcuts. No artificial fillers. They’re light enough to eat by the handful, rich enough to feel indulgent, and nostalgic enough to make you smile.

Perfect for Gifting — or Stashing for Yourself

Chocolate malt balls make an unexpected but much-loved gift. They’re often the first thing people try when they open a box — and the first thing that disappears. They also fit perfectly into themed assortments. Add a bag to any of our gift boxes », or browse our seasonal collections to find a box that suits the occasion. Pro tip: Get two bags. One to gift. One to “sample.”

Go ahead — give this classic another shot.
