I haven't tried that but could not these days as I must avoid gluten which Ovaltine contains. However as children in 'the good old days' when money was very scarce we used to mix sugar and cocoa to eat as a treat. Our parents, or ourselves when older, would make a 'cone' from newspaper or, if you were 'posh' from geaseproof paper to put the mixture in. We would use a spoon or more often a wet finger(!) to eat it It was quite enjoyable. Try it! It is cerainly less expensive than Ovaltine!

Yes, have to confess I do this with raw Horlicks. In fact, I could probably eat my way through a jar of Horlicks and a teaspoon before any of it ever reached a mug. And yes, I do remember the Horlicks tablets. They used to come in little squares in a tin. Why is it that some of life's best little treats disappear ?
