I'll be making Tablet this weekend. It's somewhat like fudge. It's a Scottish thing and it's delicious! Basically sugar, condensed milk and butter.

Chocolate Marshmallow Linzer Cookie
What makes a cup of hot cocoa so scrumptious? The marshmallows, of course! These sandwich cookies use powdered hot chocolate mix in the dough to lend authentic hot cocoa flavor, while the marshmallow fluff filling is the real reason I love these cookies.
Tip: The cookies will keep for up to a week in an airtight container.
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 12 minutes
Yield: 36
Ingredients
3/4 cup (175 ml) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (175 ml) icing sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) Dutch process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 egg
1 3/4 cups (425 ml) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
3/4 cup (175 ml) marshmallow fluff
Directions
Beat the butter until fluffy, then sift in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, beating to combine well. Add the vanilla and egg.
Stir in flour and salt and until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into 2 discs, wrap and chill for at least on hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to ¼-inch (5-mm) thickness and cut out circles using a 2-inch (5-cm) cookie cutter and place on prepared baking trays ½ inch (1 cm) apart. Scraps of dough can be re-rolled. With a ¾-inch (2-cm) cutter, cut out a hole in half of the cookies (keep these cookies all on 1 tray)
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes (cookies with the holes take 10 minutes, those without take 12 minutes). Let cool.
To assemble, spoon a teaspoonful of marshmallow fluff onto base cookie and top with cut-out cookie, pressing gently to adhere. Let cookies sit for 2 hours to dry before packing.

Makes 24 cookies.

confectioners' sugar
eggs
peppermint extract
peppermint hard candies

1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Whites from 2 large eggs
1/8 tsp. pure peppermint extract
1/3 cup finely chopped, peppermint hard candies

Heat the oven to 175°F. Line 1 large cookie sheet with parchment (not a nonstick liner). Sift the confectioner’s sugar twice to remove all lumps and divide into two fairly equal portions.
Put the egg whites in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until the whites hold soft peaks. Continue beating while gradually adding one portion of confectioner’s sugar. Beat until firm, glossy peaks form. Add the peppermint extract and mix briefly. Sift the remaining confectioner’s sugar over the meringue and gently fold in until blended.
Scoop the meringue into a large pastry bag fitted with a large (#8) star tip. Pipe swirled kisses (about 1-1/2 inches wide and 2 inches high) about 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle the finely chopped peppermint candies over the kisses.
Bake until dry and crisp, about 3 hours. Turn the oven off and let the meringues cool in the oven for 1 hour. Serve immediately or cover and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.

I made this very simple recipe for two-tone fudge this weekend. It's very easy.
1 can sweetened condensed milk.
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp cognac or brandy (optional)
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped (or other nuts.)
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp vanilla
8-inch square pan - with parchment in the bottom.
1. Pour 1/2 the can of sweetened condensed milk into a medium saucepan and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat on low until chocolate chips are melted. Take off heat, and mix in nuts and cognac. Pour into square pan. Store in the fridge to firm up, about 10 minutes.
2. In a clean saucepan, pour the rest of the sweetened condensed milk and add the white chocolate chips. Heat on low until the chips are melted. Take off heat, and mix in dried cranberries and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the other chocolate mixture and cool down in the fridge for at 30 minutes.
3. To serve: unmold fudge onto a cutting tray and cut into 1 inch squares.
This is very sweet, bite size pieces go a long way. I think this recipe can be frozen, but truthfully, at my house they didn't last that long before they were gone.
