Fudge Came Out Gritty

Can you fix peanut butter fudge? Even though it came to a soft ball stage, it came out gritty. The sugar didn't seem to dissolve.

In my fudge post I forgot to include the clear karo in the ingredients to boil. Sorry about that. ~Janette~

I found a bunch of fudge making info at this link including about the crystallizing (gritty) problem:

I've been reading a number of posts about their fudge not hardening.
This is an easy recipe and I've had great results every time.

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE
2 cups (12 OZ.) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 1/4 cups (14-oz. can) sweetened condensed milk
(do not confuse with evaporated milk)
1 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine morsels and sweetened condensed milk in heavy saucepan. Warm over lowest possible heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in nuts and vanilla. Spread evenly into foiled-lined 8 or 9-inch square pan. Chill for 2 hours or until firm. Lift from pan; remove foil, cut into squares.

Microwave Oven - Use defrost setting and melt chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth; stir in nuts and vanilla. For different flavored fudge use white chocolate, peanut butter or butterscotch flavored morsels.

(Makes about 2 pounds of fudge)

I always put one or 2 tablespoons of white Karo Syrup in my candy, and I have not had gritty candy since.

I always made the Never Fail Fudge on the back of the marshmallow fluff container. They changed the recipe and my fudge came out gritty. Any ideas or recipes for smooth easy fudge?
