Rob's Homemade Tablet came about through lockdown boredom, I decided one day,whilst living at Bandirran, to give making tablet a try.

I remember my mother making it with me as a child and the sweary words when it didn't set, but none the less thought I'd try, first tray worked as did the second, now what do I do with two trays of tablet, for those of you who don't know Bandirran is a small hamlet between Balbeggie and Abernyte on a B road in middle of nowhere. I cut the tablet into bars wrapped it, pinched a small side table from the house and put outside by roadside with a jam jar and a £1 sign and to my amazement it was gone within a couple of hours and everyone who had taken a bar had paid!

After a few weeks of making and selling the tablet I branched out and made millionaires shortbread and rocky road, my little table was too small so I purchased a little potting bench and used that and still everything that was taken was paid for.
