Scottish Tablet Fudge

My best friend growing up was half Scottish and we grew up on this Scottish Fudge. Her Dad would make it every single weekend.

It looks and smells like fudge, but has a very wonderfully brittle almost fine gritty texture.

It’s just divine, totally full of sugar, but in small doses it makes a wonderful accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee.

    I was just looking through the receipes here when I came accross tablet as myself I am scottish so I grew up with Tablet my mother used to make it quite often especially for christmas, so it was nice to see that on here, as most people make your normal fudge, As the scottish tablet is very rich and sweet as it is mainly sugar so you only need a wee bit to fulfil your taste buds, I have made it myself but was not as good as my mothers.
