Chocolate Malts

I get the underrated pineapple malt at Van Dee's here in Johnston. Always good.

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend the last few years where I order a chocolate malt and they make it with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. The chocolate in the ice cream overwhelms the malted powder and while good, it doesn’t have the proper balance of flavors.

This can no longer be tolerated. I would encourage you all to demand your confectioner use vanilla ice cream when venturing out to enjoy a chocolate malt.

I demand them to make my malt with Vanilla and syrup. Also, always with butterfingers mixed in.

While we’re talking malts. Can we all agree that any ice cream shop that gives you the standard diameter straw like what is used for fountain soda should be shut down by some sort of government agency? Shakes and malts must be served with those wide diameter straws. And they must be rigid. You can’t drink a proper malt with one of those paper straws.

But...malted milk balls...yeah, baby.

Just ask Coach Hines.

so, the rigid ones are more pleasurable for you?

Yes. Otherwise when you start sucking on them they collapse and go limp.

Hot Fudge malts are the only way to go when you want chocolate.

Culver's hot fudge malt is my favorite ice cream treat.

Our local establishment has chocolate ice cream that is sublime. I don’t mind the malts made with it at all.

Chocolate shakes are a complete waste of time, money, and calories.

Chocolate malts are the only way to go. I think Culver’s actually makes a pretty good chocolate malt. And yes…. you MUST use vanilla ice cream and syrup, not chocolate ice cream.

I don't eat chocolate malts but I will say this is the first thing I thought of when I saw the title because Mrs. Velo is dying alongside you on this hill. Who in their right mind makes ANY malt with anything other than vanilla ice cream?

Your name is malted milk balls?

I bet it has been decades since I had a shake or a malt. Do remember, like 60 years ago, when the parental units got a blender and it was shakes/malts on tap at home. Was a seriously big deal. Decadent luxury in that tiny old kitchen.

I gave Mrs. Velo a hard time when she bought one of those hand held blender things, but damn if they don't blend up a quick shake/malt with much less clean up.

Now I'm jonesing for some ice cream and damn it, I'm trying to drop a couple (dozen) pounds...

Chick Fil A is offering a limited edition peach milk shake if the chocolate malt becomes too toxic. I probably would prefer a peach summer pie, or a cold slice of delicious ripe watermelon.

There's a place near me that has Tres Leches cake just soaked in sweetened condensed milk and they keep it nealry ice cold. It's confusing if I'm eating ice cream or cake, it's like a cake/ice cream hybrid and kind of irresistible on a hot day.

My middle school in Nebraska had the most disgusting school lunch (I actually liked school lunch at my Iowa schools) and the one exception was you could go through the "combo" line that was almost always burger, fries and a chocolate malt that was actually incredible. Quite a few days I'd have a chocolate malt for lunch and throw out most of the gross burger and soggy fries. Basically a kid version of the 90s slim fast craze.
