Microwave Tablet

Submitted by Frugal Fifer

"Tablet is a popular treat in Scotland and can be made in many different ways and most of them involve boiling sugar for a long time and then beating well - this does make a delicious sweet, but there is an easy way for a quick treat using your microwave, the recipe is written with a 900 w oven, but you can adjust it to suit your own - mine is a 750 w and I did it for 12 minutes instead of 10. The other bonus of this recipe is that as it does not use condensed milk it is a wee bit cheaper to make too!"
