Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Stirring constantly is crucial to ensure a smooth and even texture. The tablet is ready when it loses its glossy sheen and starts to thicken. For a richer flavor, use salted butter or add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. Do not overcook, or the tablet will be hard.
