Fixing Fudge

RE: Fixing Fudge

Triple rest of ingredients and it should work out ok. Otherwise, looks like it should be tossed. Take all extras and give out to co-workers and neighbors. They will love you for it.

RE: Fixing Fudge

Thank you for the advice. I made peanut butter fudge and it didn't set up ( to sugary) so I put it back on the stove and brought it back up to temp. Seemed to be thicker the 2nd time. Just make sure that you keep stiring or it wil stick. Thank you all for the advice.

RE: Fixing Fudge

I made fudge. Put it into the refrigerator (now I know I shouldn't have) but regardless it still hasn't completely set. Its soft, not grainy or liquidy. What can I do to get it to set? Its my Dad's favorite holiday thing so I'm desperate to fix this!

RE: Fixing Fudge

I also recently made fudge (actually pralines - same thing only plopped individually) and it came out grainy and soft. I just took all of them, tossed them back into the pan, slowly melted them and re-boiled them back to temperature. When they came out this time, they were not grainy and they set hard. Grainy fudge is the result of the sugar not completely dissolving (not boiling long enough to the right temperature) or re-crystallizing too early (from crystals forming on the sides then starting a chain reaction, or from agitating the mixture or introducing some foreign substance during cooling).
Grease the sides of the pan before you start and be careful during cooling.

RE: Fixing Fudge

I made fudge last night , the one on the back of the fluff jar.
I have made it for years, but last night it set gritty. Should I re cook it?

RE: Fixing Fudge

I've done this myself on occasion. Just add some more confectioner sugar to it and stir until it thickens.

RE: Fixing Fudge

If the problem is too much liquid, it will just take longer for it to reach the correct temperature. Just keep stirring so it doesn't scorch on the bottom.
