In the old days, Grandma told us, she used malted milk to make these old-fashioned treats. It's easier to find malted milk balls now, so that's what we use.

Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

Since our blender wasn't as big as hers, when she was at our house Grandma made one malted milk freeze at a time. She used 1/3 cup crushed malted milk balls, 1 cup ice cream, 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup and 1/2 cup milk for each one.

Great Pairings

Shrimp Fra Diavolo

Saving money when serving shrimp is easy: the smaller the shrimp, the lower the price. For the best budget stretcher, you can use popcorn shrimp and serve this Italian favorite over linguine.
