Preparation

Step 1

*1*.Crust: Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick foil, extending beyond the short ends. Combine crumbs, sugar, and butter in a medium bowl, stirring to combine. Press mixture evenly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until set. Let cool on a wire rack.
*2*.Filling: Whisk sugar and malted milk powder in a medium bowl. Beat cream cheese in a large mixer bowl, about 4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar mixture until well blended. Beat in sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs until combined.
*3*.In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in microwave. Remove 1/2 cup malt batter and stir into melted chocolate. Pour remaining malt batter over crust. Pour chocolate batter over malt batter in a zigzag fashion; swirl with a thin knife to marbleize. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top is set. Cool completely on a wire rack; loosely cover and refrigerate, 4 hours or overnight.
