My grandma used to make us grandkids a hot Horlicks before bed, I didn’t drink it because I hate hot drinks but the smell was so lovely and comforting. I buy Horlicks powder now as a cake ingredient - I think I’d like to try one these. I reckon it’s like the compacted version of the inside of a malteser, all that yummy malty goodness…

What an adorable tin!

Cake ingredient? That sounds yummy. I presume you substitute some of the flour for horlicks?

I loved these as a child, my mum got me some from Australia a few years ago, tasted exactly right ! Unfortunately now I'm coeliac so can only dream of the taste 🤣🤣🤣

eblue · 12/01/2024 23:18

I can't imagine these tasting nice? Can somebody explains? Lol

If you like horlicks, you'll like them basically
It's like the malted inside of a Malteser type taste

@Paw2024 My grandma used to make me Horlicks as a child and I really liked it. Had it since as an adult and I hated the taste 🤢

PickAChew · 12/01/2024 23:21

I chomped through packets of these through my O-level exams. Loved them. They were definitely in tubes, like polos, rather than tins, though - and I vaguely remember them being sqiarish.

Gluten and lactose intolerant so won't be giving them another try

PickAChew · 12/01/2024 23:23

Dinky tin, though!

ContinentalBreakfast · 13/01/2024 00:00

I shall be off to buy these tomorrow

This has made me SO happy!!! Thank you OP FlowersFlowersFlowers

coxesorangepippin · 13/01/2024 01:04

Sorry - are they sweets, or do you dilute with water, like an Alka seltzer?

Sweets, just eat them

MyopicBunny · 13/01/2024 01:15

I used to love them too!

fridaynight1 · 13/01/2024 02:20

OMG this is fan flippin fantastic news. Horlicks tablets are kind of like the inside of Malteesers. All I need now is full fat Lucozade to come back.

It’s in the nigella malteser cake recipe, it’s a familu favourite here! The cake has a kind of bouncy texture, unusual but so tasty.

DinoRodney · 13/01/2024 10:49

Love these x

Growlybear83 · 13/01/2024 11:04

I've been searching my branch of b&m but can't find any Horlicks tablets. If anyone has bought some recently, which aisle did you find thm in? I've been up and down the food aisle and the medicines ☹️

TroysMammy · 13/01/2024 11:09

I was telling a colleague about these the other day. You could only buy them in chemists and they cost about 6p (double the price of a pack of polos) and there was only about 6 in the packet.

B&M you say? B&M, here I come.

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 13/01/2024 11:12

I’d never heard of these until Martin Lewis tweeted, but I feel a special trip to B&M coming up…..

Growlybear83 · 13/01/2024 11:15

Well I've asked four different members of staff and have shown them a photo of the tin. I'm true b&m fashion, they have all looked at me as though I am an alien and either directed me to the medicines aisle or said they don't sell them. 😟

LuluBlakey1 · 13/01/2024 11:16

I can't find them either .

EmmasRegurgitatedShrimps · 13/01/2024 11:18

I loved these, but my friends hated them and we baffled each other. Now, I like to feel the little round feet on the underside of my MacBook because the shape and size remind me of Horlicks tablets. Hoping our B&M has them.

TroysMammy · 13/01/2024 13:43

They didn't have them in the B&M I went to 😪. But I ended up buying strawberry shoelaces, oxo cubes and a carbon monoxide sensor.
