Western thing, maybe?
There's a recipe at Allrecipes.com which sounds a lot like yer mom's… Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe - Allrecipes.com
That may be it. Sounds like a lot of sugar even for my mom's recipe, though. I'll check through my recipes to see if I can find hers but if you're jonesing for the fudge, that should work.
Maybe....not sure where she picked it up. My brother and I will start eating it and she just shakes her head...a little incredulous that we like it so much.My mom makes that, too, along with the creamy type
When I lived in Scotland, Border Tablet was very popular.
It was a little too sweet for me, but here's a link for a traditional recipe, if that's any help?
Scottish Recipes: Scottish Tablet Recipe
I'm willing to try it again! I love it, but you're right--very sweet. Keeps you from eating too much!
Scottish Shortbread........ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I am one of those people who actually LIKES fruitcake
Judging from all the bad jokes and disparaging comments I have heard over the years, apparently I am in the minority. I like the kind with lots of cherries, red and green, raisins, dates, nuts - you name it. As long as it is moist and chewy and fresh I will eat it.
My husband LOVES Whisky Dundee Cake so I make one every year. I've fed it with a nice drop of malt whisky and it's sitting in the tin maturing ready to be eaten on Christmas Day. I don't eat cake myself cos I don't like nuts and mine has almonds on top but he tells me it's yummy!!

Powdered Lekvar Kiffles, yummmmm!
(not at treat, but a Christmas Holiday tradition -- Liquefied Chicken Liver Stuffing. An age-old family recipe handed down through generations, unfortunately now lost to this generation. How come the old people never wrote down their recipes? Only ever had it at Christmas, as it was so much work. Family lore (code for tall tales and prevarication) says it was the same stuffing Charles Dickens described when he wrote of the aroma of sage and onion stuffing wafting through the Cratchit's home in "A Christmas Carol." Alas, that delicious brown breading delicacy is lost to the ages.)

Are these Kiffles DiO'Bolic?
They do look tasty!
Yup that’s them. But there is a Hatfield-McCoy type battle over whether the fruit should be showing, or that the dough rolled in such a way as to not show the filling. I am of the "show the fruit" circle of faithful, because you don’t ever want to erroneously get one of the nut varieties, yuck! Also, the thin dough versus this dough debate rages on. I'm of the thin dough clan.

Do you make it or buy it? I like dark and my husband likes white, so when I make it, I make both. Only red cherries in the dark, but both in the light. And my mom never put nuts in hers, and obviously I don't.
Also no alcohol in mine, and it wasn't in her recipe either.
Those look really yummy.

I usually buy it. Hubby made a dark fruitcake last year and kept soaking it in brandy (is that to preserve it or for taste?)
