Malted Milk Ball aka Whopper Cookies

Malted Milk Ball aka Whopper Cookies

I love whoppers and Robin eggs and the other day I picked up a box of whoppers and I had forgotten about my love of malt. The purchase of that box of whoppers sent me on a downward spiral and for a week I bought way to many boxes of whoppers and then also decided to make Whopper cookies out of them.

If you love whoppers then you should try out this cookie.
