My mum used to make this as a special treat for us when we were little, but she used brown sugar :) Vonny

think next time might post recipe for shortbread or macaroons. did ur mum used to cook those 4 u as bairns as well yvonne, some nice old fashioned scottish favourites, when i was a wee bairn in me ma's kitchen growing up.

Oh Jim, macaroon bars from mashed totties. Lovely Must make some, see if it tastes as good as when I was a bairn. Christine

as a kiddie,my mam jones would make some sweets,and i would love to know how she did it...it had to be simple,and looked like corn flakes dipped in plain chocolate...have i answered my own question? bryan.

like chocolate rice krispies instead of cornflakes, kellogs make snack bars like that now, but they don,t taste the same

A man after my own heart. I make batches of the tablet and rice krispie cakes for the grandkids when they visit but I have to ration it otherwise they would have the lot. Don't suppose you could find me a recipe for fruit pudding. Brought a load back on my last visit and I've only got 6 slices left in the freezer. My Sunday breakfasts are not the same without it and I can't find a recipe anywhere. Aileen

Oo Aileen, just brought a big piece of fruit pudding out of the freezer fro breckie tomorrow, along with some square sliced sausage, and Ayrshire bacon....is your mouth watering yet! LOL Christine

Bryan Yes as Jim said use cornflakes or better still rice krispies and just get a slab of cooking chocolate and melt it in a bowl over a pan of water. Then mix it together and put in a tray to set or in little cake cups. I sometimes stick in raisins. Some people use syrup instead of chocolate. Good fun and the best bit is licking the bowl. Aileen

mine is christine :o) bryan.

Bryan, if your up this way, drop in I'll even throw in a couple of tattie scones! LOL Christine

Oh! Christine! Ayrshire bacon (nothing like it can't get it here) square sausage ohhhhh(dribbles) and pudding I'm coming home on the next train. I make tablet and all my (Scottish) kids love it but all their better halves don't (funny people) they think its too sweet (which it is- mmmm). Do you have a recipe for macaroon bars lost mine years ago, please? Norah

thanks aileen,i have two days off now,and this thread has wetted my appetite,just need to buy some plain chocolate tomorrow. bryan.

Hi Christine No you wicked woman. I have plenty square/round slice, links etc. Brought loads back from Scotland. Most of it I can find down here in Surrey anyway. They are getting quite civilized. Even get my plain bread too. Tesco's even does Scottish morning rolls! What I do need to source is an endless supply of lovely soft Scottish water for my tea. Just doesn't taste the same down here. Aileen xxx

thanks for the invite christine,i'me really tempted,what with your food,jills good looks,and the fruity lemon,all in bonnie scotland...what more could a man want :o) bryan.
