Do you mean something like silly putty? Or kinetic sand?

No idea about exact recipes, but to help you with a correct wording: my bet is that you are looking for a non-Newtonian fluid made from a solid boric acid with and added liquid (look also for thixotropic fluids). It doesn't melt, it changes viscosity under the stress.
