The Horlicks Sticky Toffee Pudding drink mix is the brand's latest flavor of its signature hot beverage mix that's perfect for consumers to enjoy this fall as a nod to the classic childhood dessert. The drink mix boasts the same signature flavor of Horlicks Instant with its creamy texture and malty flavor, which are further enhanced with the taste of sticky toffee pudding. The drink mix is arriving as a Home Bargains exclusive in the UK this month where shoppers can pick it up ahead of the cooler weather months to keep on hand as a comforting beverage option.
