Here’s another reason to keep Chocolate Malt and Caramel Malt on hand. Chocolate Malt Brownies! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this is the perfect time to make a batch. Then treat your Valentine to a nice pairing of Chocolate Malt Brownies and a rich, flavorful beer like Imperial Stout. These two roasted malts contribute so much rich, chocolate flavor that there’s no need to supplement with cocoa powder. Sub Dark Chocolate Malt for the Chocolate Malt if you’d like. Enjoy!
