- 1/3 cup sugar

Add the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the grated chocolate.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream until small bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the malted milk powder and chopped chocolate until the chocolate is melted and the powder is dissolved. Keep the syrup warm.
