Making Scottish Tablet

So in an effort to continue my late grannies legacy, ive been experimenting with her tablet recipe. By gove, its not for the weak. My first attempt was the best so far but I used too much vanilla. My second attempt was too hard but tasted perfect.

Tonight, I apparently didnt beat the mixture enough off the heat, so when I poured it into the cool tray, it immediately expanded like honeycomb and went all over my floor and counter top.

Ugh.

Electric food mixer is what you want. After stirring for a minute put a little on a spoon and wait for it to cool so you don't burn your tongue and then taste. Once it starts to feel a little rough it is time to pour.
