Horlicks has gone hard....help plz!

I have nearly a full box of Horlicks, sadly it has solidified into a hard lump. Apart from hacking bits off it...have any of you other clever people had any success in returning it back to its former powdered glory? I would hate to have to throw it away.


Thanks in advance Bam x

    pick the box up - put it in the bin.

    then rejoice that you don't have to drink the horrid icky tasting stuff.....

  • Any idea how to prevent Horlicks/Boost from getting hard ?:mad:
  • I don't think you can do anything with it when it goes like that.
    It won't even dissolve properly after its gone hard.

    When the coffee mate did that I put in the freezer for a day. When it came out it was easier to break up... still a bit lumpy but it was useable...

  • as its gone hard because maybe a bit damp why not give it a bit of a warm in the microwave it may help then bash the blazes out of it with a rolling pin , or pestle and mortar

    IF (big IF) you can get it out of the container, a food processor or liquidiser would probably work well.

    Personally, I tend to gouge bits out with a sharp knife - very dangerous! After a while I get peed off with doing that and chuck it in the bin.
