My dad makes the most delicious tablet. His recipe is
3 cups sugar
1 cup water
knob of butter (about 1oz)
few drops vanilla essence

Put the above into a pan, and simmer until it's goes into a soft ball when you put some into a bowl of cold water. Add 1 tin condensed milk and beat in, simmer until light brown and pour into a greased tin. Be careful though because it's easily burned.
