Has anyone made 'tablet' a scottish toffee/fudge from condensed milk?

As a Scot i was very happy to see that recipe on UK Thmx a while ago, just havn't had the time or enough sugar to make it yet!! Please post how it goes:)

Ooh- tablet is SO addictive :D
Good addition for the Xmas hamper!
-
Wonder if there may be a weight watcher's version -? didn't think so. We used to make this and coconut ice every xmas.

Hey has anyone tried this as yet ? I'd be interested how you went if you did. I tried to make Tenina's fudge (link above) and ended up with sticky toffee. I will try it again though, once I'm ready for another huge sweet session. Tenina sent me another one to try but I've been battling with sick kids etc so haven't tried yet. If anyone is on here from Brisbane, have you heard of Syd's Pie Factory at Tanah Merah (Bris south). He imports a lot of traditionally Scottish / UK food and also makes Scottish Pies (really yummy). The imports are not necessarily cheap, but not available anywhere else that we know of but he does keep a lot of obscure things you wouldn't normally see anywhere here (like curry sauce like the fish and chip shops use, UK sweets and confectionery, picalilly (sp?) . He also makes Haggis (yuck !), traditional black pudding (yuck too !), potato cakes / scones (yum), gammon etc etc. Costs us a fortune when we go. My husband always buys tablet from there when we visit, but I will try making this recipe too. Just thought you may like to know about it. Here's the website if you're interested. http://www.highlandflingproducts.com/, not sure whether he does shipping or not either but you can only ask.

What do you mean? "Haggis (yuck !), traditional black pudding (yuck too !)" Och aye the noo Jimmy, I dinnae ken anyone who disnay love haggis & black pudding!
Well actually, my Scottish mother loathes them ;) ;D ;D She would say something along the lines of ... Bugger Robbie Burns night in January with a wee drop o' the doin's and a piece of sheep's guts filled with oatmeal and more non-descript sheep's guts.
But I love black pud and haggis. Love tripe too.
Probably not good to discuss in a thread aboot sweeties ?

Thermomixer, your Mum sounds lovely.
-
Lol Thermomixer, can't believe someone else other than my husband would eat that stuff lol.
Thanks heaps Cornish Cream, I will give that recipe a try for sure.
-
So did anyone try this recipe? I'm just about too with refined sugar, forgot to grab can sugar and the kids do not want to go out.
-
The only good thing about haggis are the tatties and neeps
-
O.M.G.
The taste is nearly spot on to what I used to buy when I was a teenager up in Belfast from this little Tabaconist / sweet shop. I rather daft key stuck it in the fridge for the last hour to harden rather than just putting it on the side so the pieces are a little cool (which knocks the aftertaste slightly).
I wonder how long this will keep, the wife is having ideas of making up some food parcels for Xmas. (hampers without the hampers I think) I'll hopefully add a photo later when my phone is charged.
Cullidh agreed, I would never eat haggis in a month of Sundays, or black pudding for that matter. Blech.
-
I agree about haggis (DH tried to make one once :o) but black pudding is really nice- have to fry it or bbq it for the best effect. Just don't think about how it's made ;)
-
Love Black Pudding. The ones made in South Australia are the best. German settlers still making the traditional stuff. Also had some in Scotland, also very nice but from what I remember, less spicy.
-
I remember eating vegetarian haggis in Scotland once, very nice. Haggis is mostly filled with oatmeal anyway if I remember? Used to love the macoroni & cheese pies they had in the bakeries, and millionaires shortbread :)

I had a very Aussie upbringing as I lived on a farm and Dad was a real meat and vegies guy, preferably boiled mutton from the farm. The only type of 'sausage' I had tasted until I met DH (who's parents were European) was polony. I now love quite a few of those types of things but cannot bring myself to try black pudding. At the Good Food and Wine show here I bought a few things like that from a Barossa Valley place. They were delicious. I look forward to trying lots next year when we head to SA.
