"This isn't really a recipe, it's more an idea which worked really well. I find it hard to get to sleep, but don't like having a hot drink before I go to bed because I end up waking up a couple of hours later then can't get back to sleep. I love the taste of Horlicks (malted milk) though, and find it really relaxing, and oats are meant to help you sleep so I tried adding it to a bowl of oatmeal and it tasted really yummy! It's a lot cheaper than buying flavoured oatmeal too, and you can add any type of malted milk/hot chocolate powders to it, or even flavoured milkshake (my brother likes banana Nesquik with cinnamon). Have fun trying it out!"

This is great! Had it at past midnight. So chocolatey creamy delicious! Placed chocolate drink in it and part water/part milk. I finished it quick! Less expensive than store bought. Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Spring 2009.

My name's Fi, I'm 23 and I'm at uni atm in my final year studying Philosophy and Literature. I love reading and writing, and hope to do a postgrad course in Folklore and Creative Writing. I'm kind of obsessed with fairy tales, especially Hans Christian Andersen, and I'm a total Harry Potter geek! I love cooking, and I'm also kind of a health freak so I like adapting recipes to make them more healthy, although I love to cook food for other people too. I don't really eat dairy (I had an intolerance when I was younger), and have recently developed a reaction to wheat so I like being creative with what I cook! <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
