1 1/2 cups malted milk ball candies (coarsely chopped, about 5 ounces)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325°F.

With wooden spoon, stir in granulated sugar and vanilla.
Beat in eggs until well blended. In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into chocolate mixture.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted 1 inch from edge of pan comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.
Prepare Malted Milk Topping:.
In small bowl, stir together malted milk powder, milk, and vanilla until blended.
Stir in butter and confectioners' sugar until blended.
With small spatula, spread topping over cooled bars; top with chopped malted milk ball candies. Allow topping to set.
When topping is firm, transfer with parchment paper or foil to cutting board. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 8 pieces.
