I believe that if you eat it standing up or walking around the house, it might actually have a negative calorie effect!

I think if you avoid adding the extras such as marshmallow and chocolate you can create what's known as "tablet", a traditional Scottish sweet (which I hate!).

The marshmallows you cannot even taste and fudge is still nice and creamy. It is just added to make it smoother.

I'm sure it is nice for sure - but this tablet stuff is pretty much like eating a lump of sugar. People export it to ex-pats which always amazed me till I found out that evaporated milk isn't widely available (probably because it's not the 1940s!).

Yeah, I don't think this recipe would be very good without evaporated milk. I didn't realize that's not widely available. I got it in London for cooking. I'd have no idea what to substitute for it :grr:
