Gonna try making this next week
The recipe needs 5ml vanilla extract stirred thru at the end
That’s not included in this recipe 🙂
What sugar to you use in this white , raw, or brown
white granulated sugar
Any suggestions if it doesn’t set hard? Tried fridge and freezer, without any joy. ?
We have made this for decades the regular way. Standing and stirring for 25 minutes. We also add chopped walnuts in the last 5 minutes as it helps tone down the sweetness
Time you try the slow cooker way then 😉
Have you ever tried aniseed in fudge. You used to be able to buy squill candy I’m wondering if fudge was a base for that with aniseed. Would it still set
Going to attempt this on Christmas Eve Eve :-/
Wish me luck!
I’m wondering if a whisk is ok or whether to try my electric beaters 🙂 I will let you know the outcome!
I made this but it is not hardening, it’s more like toffee, taste is amazing, just wondering how to harden it. I have put it in the fridge then the freezer but still soft. Any suggestions.
Ca not get it to harden ?
For some comments- I don’t think 10 minutes is long enough to beat it in the end.. It will be like toffee/fudge .. You really have to beat tablet for half an hour -45 mins until your arms practically falling off in order for it to be good. I’ll give the slow cooker a try though
I have made tablet for years and used to always use granulated sugar, I was wrong. This is better and faster (to make) with castor sugar
If it doesn’t ‘set’ (should be quite hard) you can always heat it back up and cook it for a little longer. It works!
I’m going to try this in a Tefal Multicook and Stir where you can change the temperature and it has a blender stirrer with it. Any thoughts on if this would work with same timing?
I made this and I couldn’t stop eating it !! It’s very delicious ………but dangerous !! Lol
Made this for the first time today. Seems to be setting pretty well but won’t know until tomorrow. ?. Used castor sugar instead of granulated sugar so didn’t take as long to cook
How was it Dianne 🙂
Turned dark like Highland toffee and still soft, NOTHING like the picture
Unfortunately this tablet did not set hard. Reading previous comments about it needing to be whisked for longer, we (my family members took turns) whisking it for 45 minutes. It never set hard, and is soft and fudge-like in consistency. It still tastes yummy, but I think I will be sticking to my stovetop recipe for the next time I make tablet. I understand this is a slow-cooking page, but it seems the slow cooker doesn’t generate enough heat to “help the tablet set.
