What is Scottish Tablet?


Scottish tablet is a beloved traditional sweet that originated in Scotland. Made from just four core ingredients—sugar, condensed milk, butter, and a dash of vanilla—this treat undergoes a fascinating cooking process. The mixture is heated to a precise temperature, then simmered for some time while continuously stirring until it darkens and is drop test ready. This method is what gives the tablet its signature crumbly texture, which melts effortlessly in your mouth.


This sweet offers not just a rich and creamy taste but also a unique experience with every bite. In fact, around 80% of people who try Scottish tablet for the first time find themselves drawn in by its distinct blend of flavours.
