It's a malt chocolate energy drink. :)

It sounds yummy! I'd just never heard of it before. Maybe I'll have to have some of my Canadian friends help me score some to try. *G*

I know, it's yummy!

I've tried adding malted flavoring to chocolate milk, but it's just not the same.

*nods* I actually made a vanilla pudding pie last week and added a packet of the Swiss Miss cocoa that's a breakfast blend of some sort [it's malted, that's all I can remember] to the pudding. It actually came out with a really interesting malted flavor. Now I want to go get some Ovaltine and do it again. LOL!

Actually; it's not. We have Ovaltine too - it's a different drink with a different flavour, and different manufacture process. I actually don't like ovaltine very much as a drink at all.
