what the heck is it - I read a reference to it regarding world war two aircrew evasion kits. it was packed in a tin along with glucose and malted milk tablets.

Sorry to hijack a little but I used to love Horlicks tablets when I was a kid, they stopped making them, but does anyone know of another source of malted milk tablets?

Are they made by the Whizzo Candy Company?

As far as I can see these are now called "Horlicks Malties" and you can just about find them on the internets. Mostly seems to be the bay of evil and places in the states. Let me know if you get any and find somebody reliable - It'd be a flashback to my childhood for sure.

Is the liver toffee some kind of preservative?

Make your own?

Dissolve a jar of horlicks in as little warmed evaporated milk as you can get away with. Pour into a clean, unscratched nonstick baking tray, just like you would tablet. Let it set for a little while then dry the tray out either on top of a radiator or sitting in a very low oven with the door slightly ajar. You don't want to cook it, regardless of how good it smells , just dry it out. Before it sets hard press a clean, wetted in hot water, knife blade into the paste to make a grid of small squares. As soonas it's dry enough to turn out of the tray, turn it upside down and allow the base to dry out too. Break up into the marked squares and store in an airtight bag. Smells great, tastes wonderful and has all of the calorific impact of a neutron bomb

Cheers,
Toddy
