Putting it in a sealed container with dry rice or silica gel works, but very slowly. I prefer a hair dryer on low heat.

My understanding too, FJames. And the sugars in the ... well, sugar ... and milk can eat the conductor pathways off the circuitboards, so it's not just a matter of their having gotten wet.
Good luck, maddoggy!
