As a Scottish girl and a maker of tablet for over 40 years, this recipe will not work! It has to brought the boil once all the sugar has melted, and boiled, stirring constantly, for 20 minutes. It does not need to go anywhere near a fridge to set if it has been boiled for long enough.

I don't want to give a bad review but I followed the instructions and it did not set. It has spent nearly 24 hrs in the fridge and is still soft and inedible. Sorry
