Frosted malted blondies with mini chocolate chips and malted frosting

I wanted to make another recipe using my malted milk powder, so I opted for blondies with mini chocolate chips and topped with malted milk frosting.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount (do not pour from flour bag because that packs it in and can result in a dry blondie).  Also firmly packed your brown sugar into your measuring cup.  And preheat your oven before baking.
