My middle son Tom has set me a challenge – to make fudge as good as he got when we were on holiday in CapeTown – I have not succeeded yet! I have tried Tintins Scottish tablet which is really delicious but I can’t quite get the consistency right. It is either too gooey and yellowy white in colour (when I simmered the mixture for 10 minutes).
When I cooked it until the mixture turned caramel brown it set and was very crystally. I am not giving up. I am going to try different recipes and different cooking techniques until i get it absolutely perfect.
We are looking for light brown in colour, crumbly but when you pop it into your mouth the fudge melts and you don’t feel like you are biting a mouthful of granulated sugar.


So far my best Fudge attempt is definately TinTin’s granny recipe Scottish Tablet but i Think I need to get the crystalisation right so the flavour is absolutely perfect! 

Any tips from people who have managed to crack it?
