I made this following the recipe; except I didn't have a candy thermometer so I took a guess and boiled and stirred for about 25 minutes. It didn't work! By the next day it had still not set up, so I scraped it all back into the pot, added a shot of maple syrup, about 1/4 cup, ( I figured I had nothing to lose) and boiled again for about 20 minutes. It turned out fantastic! I will be making this again.

Great taste o Scotland. Boil a little longer though and use a 'spurtle' to mix 'like a wooden spoon without the spoon end' or use the Handle of the spoon. Don't use a metal whisk. P.S Dont eat too much you will get sick.

Mine didn't set up - was I supposed to cut and separate the pieces to "dry" them out? It seems that when I break a row apart and cut it and let it sit uncovered it does "set up". Is it supposed to be so gritty? Has a super great taste though - I've about made myself sick on it! :) I will try again and maybe beat it a bit longer after removing from heat. A super tasting recipe! Thanks!

Super-easy to make. I have made it twice already. My family devoured the first batch so I made it again and doubled the recipe.

I used a candy thermometer & it took forever to reach 235-240° almost 40 mins. Used another's suggestion with using wisk while on the stove and hand mixer afterwards, which worked well. This tastes a lot like the sugary (a little grainy) Canadian Maple candy. It was good, my husband LOVES it.

This recipe made fantastic tablet the first time round (followed instructions but cooked for 30mins and used the cream rather than milk). Second time round it didnt set but I didnt stir it until cooled and used milk... so the secret is not to cut corners!

I also found I had to boil for longer than 20mins, 28 / 30 and then beat for approx 5mins before getting the 'grit'. Hubby says its the best tablet i've made and my granddaughter is still stealing it from the tub. I was tryin out recipes for my sisters wedding, she's a scot getting married in England and wants to give a small piece as a favour. This is the one that reminds us of being kids and the one we're going to use. thanks

i changed a few things in this recipe and it turned out perfect!! i dont have a candy thermometer so i cooked the mixture for about 35 min instead. i also whisked it with a hand whisk while cooking instead of spoon.then when i removed it i used an electric blender and beat it for about 2-3 min.... it set perfectly!!!! i hope these tips help !!

I am an experienced candy-maker, and I followed the recipe exactly but the candy did not set and now I have a big pan of sweet mush. Will not be attempting this again.
