Millie gave me some old family recipes for sweets so I thought I’d start with making tablet, a lovely Scottish sweet treat which is better than fudge imho.
People said tablet was easy to make – they were untruthful, don’t you believe them. You definitely need skill and experience to make tablet. My advice is that the slow boil required to stop the mix boiling over means you have to cook it for hours rather than minutes. I poured it into the tin too early and had to reboil the next day to result in the proper, slightly gritty, creamy delight that is tablet. Some of our friends got a bag of the first batch for Christmas and the phone number for the emergency dentist lol.

Ann here, I have been making tablet for as long as I can remember and yes it is no easy feat, timing is everything. My mother always made it for school fairs and I made my first batch when I was 12 or so, same recipe except for vanilla essence and I have a couple of variations which are delicious. Practice makes perfect, enjoy. I give most of mine away when I make it or I would just keep eating lol.

I totally agree, make it to give it, don’t eat it or don’t eat too much of it lol.
