They sit proudly in our glass jars, side by side, competing for customers’ attention. Both claiming that they are the sweetest, that they should be your chosen one. The difference between their ingredients is minimal, but their devoted consumers will (and do) argue they’re so totally different you just couldn’t and shouldn’t compare them.

Tablet boasts a lengthy reputation as it appears in the history books back in the early 18^th Century where it was mentioned in The Household Book of Lady Grisell Baillie (A Scottish Songwriter). Meanwhile, the good old favourite Fudge is thought to be an American invention from around the same era. Most believe the first batch was a result of a accidental “fudged” batch of caramels, hence the name “fudge”.

For those of you who have yet to compare them for yourselves, Tablet has a brittle, grainy texture, where fudge is much softer and often more chewy. Over the years, the variety of flavours of fudge has become too big to even count, from chocolate with marshmallows to vanilla with cherry, yet nobody dares play around with the lovely crumbly sugary goodness of Tablet.

We’re going to sit firmly on the fence with this popularity contest...with a quarter (or 100g) of both. Which jar has got your vote?
