Ok I think I am now officially addicted to Scottish Tablet.  I can distinguish between average and good quality stuff, but does anyone have a really good authentic recipe.


How does this one stack up

That looks lovely and I am not going to try it. I've lost 3lbs this week and I don't want it going back on.

I don't know the best recipe but I bought a bar at the Coop yesterday and ate the whole thing when walking the dogs - then I felt sick!    Little and often would be better methinks

I'd never heard of Scottish tablet ..... painkiller?,   a computer?   no when I checked picture and recipe I found 'fudge' ..... please don't start another Scot/English argument .... I was just a bit confused

[darkbrowneggs]

No its not like fudge - I used to make lots of that when i had a jersey house cow.  This is nicer, because it has a crisp coating.  But it is really nice and an absolute sugar rush but in a really nice way.


You are making me want some and I ate the last bit yesterday

I can just feel the weight going even thinking about it!

My daughter in-law makes it much better than me and I love it.

I too was confused, not having come across this before, but it looks great. Would love to try it but it does look a little complicated! Have saved it though and might give it a go on one of my more patient days! If I get one

Not surprised you are confused - the recipes are very similar.  You can buy both Tablet and Fudge in  Scotland  - from the same manufacturer. 

Tablet is crisper, fudge softer, both melt in the mouth, both sickly sweet, and if you eat a whole bar it serves you right if you feel ill - I can say that from experience

Stop talking about Tablet - I am out in the wilds of Cumbria and ate the last of it a couple of days ago.

[Louise Gaunt]

In Cumbria you are close to the home of Kendal mint cake, another way to get almost pure sugar in solid form!

[darkbrowneggs]

Ah but it wont have that creamy, caramelly, butter, soft textured crisp coated Tablet flavour

[bloomer]

now kendal mint cake i like...


but not the chocolate covered kind...

[Carse Goodlifers]

There is a lady at my church who makes great tablet!
Certainly up here, every village/school/church summer fair, Christmas fair, cake and candy stall has tablet for sale and its usually one of the first things to sell out.

My g/f's great aunties friend makes some every couple of weesk and sells it for charity to friends and in the sheltered housing complex. 
My g/f's great auntie buys me 2 bars every couple of weeks   
I do love auntie M.

Although I've never made tablet before I believe that you can set off to make tablet but if it ain't done long enough, you get fudge, which as Doganjo rightly states is softer than tablet.
