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.

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

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