Malted Milk… 1800s Health Food!
Invented in 1873 by a British pharmacist living in Wisconsin, malted milk was originally a health food for infants and invalids. Soon after, explorers used it on treks including the North and South Pole. In the 1930s and 40’s chocolate covered malted milk balls became a hit!
