I am so happy you are still doing this after 25 years.
I have a request that may seem a little out of the ordinary, but you may have
an idea of what I am looking for.
Many years ago, prior to canned pre-made frosting mixes, Betty Crocker,
as well as other manufacturers, made powdered frosting mix that you would
add softened butter and warm water to. This would stir up into a fluffy, great
tasting frosting. One, in particular, is what I would love to be able to recreate.
It was Betty Crocker's Chocolate Malt Frosting Mix.
I have found many malt frosting recipes online but none compare.
Oh to know what powdered ingredients went into that to make it so easy,
quick and smooth.
Any help or information you may have or find would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hello Scott,
Sorry to say, but I had no success with this. I looked for a list of the ingredients from the Betty Crocker box, but no luck. Even if I had found such a list, it wouldn't help you. Betty Crocker would have used commercial ingredients that you just can't get and that may not even be available any more, even to a commercial manufacturer like Betty Crocker. The only thing that I can think of that you can do is to start with regular Betty Crocker Chocolate Frosting Mix and add different brands and different amounts of those different brands of malted milk powder to that regular mix until you come up with something that is close - one that in your own estimation "tastes-like" the Betty Crocker product as you remember it.
See here for an item about doing that: Betty Crocker Frosting
There are a few recipes on the web for making chocolate malted milk frosting, as you say, but most of them use crushed malted milk ball candy. Of the ones that use malted milk powder, none says "this tastes just like the Betty Crocker chocolate malted milk frosting did."
I'll post this, in case someone knows of such a recipe.
