unspreadable
Won't flatten out
Unspreadable describes something that cannot be spread, typically food that resists being smoothed across a surface: The butter was too cold and unspreadable.
Cold cream cheese, hardened peanut butter, and refrigerated honey are commonly unspreadable until softened.
The word occasionally applies to information or ideas that cannot be disseminated.
