Not an expert but my thoughts are that you haven't let the sugar melt completely (thus the grainy feeling) And not cooking it long enough (not setting up). Sometimes it takes experimenting to get a recipe just right.
On the back of a marshmallow creme jar is a fudge recipe that is easy, comes out great every time and you don't have to worry about it not setting or being grainy. It's a lot easier than the old fashioned kind, and my family likes it better.
Best answer that is a winner, not some lame passed down idea from dead Aunt Tilly. Also in the recipe on the marshmallow creme jar it tells you to let it boil for 5 minutes, until the temperature reaches 234 degrees. I found out many years ago that cooking too long makes it grainy.
Just used the recipe on the back of the marshmallow creme and grainy fudge. I am hopeless at making fudge. Every year the same thing...I think I've tried every no fail recipe. Never lost a batch of divinity though..... I'll try the lid and give up the stirring constantly for 5 min.
I made the marshmallow creme fudge & it is somewhat grainy. Don't know what I did wrong.
The marshmallow cream jar recipe is what I used and mine came out grainy:(. I dont usually have this issue but I did this time. Im careful to do everything exact so Im really bummed
Sadly this is the fudge I am researching about. Back of jar, fantasy fudge, came out gritty as can be.
For what it is worth I am going to share what I learned today. I came on this site trying to find out how to NOT make gritty fudge. After reading several suggestions I changed several factors in how I made a batch today vs how I made it yesterday. Today's batch was the absolute best fudge I have ever made. I'm not 100% sure which of these changes made the difference but I will share all of them.
I used the jar of marshmallow cream and the fudge still turned out grainy. Wa happened?
Yes & the recipe worked great when I lived in Texas, but it always turns out grainy since moving to Colorado, & I'm not moving back to Texas just to be able to make great fudge! :)
I used the recipe on the back of the jar, the fudge set but it was grainy. I guess I will start over.
The fantasy fudge recipe can be grainy too, even when cooked exactly as the marshmallow jar states. I will try cream of tartar and I will make sure the sugar is cane sugar next time.
That is the exact recipie that I have been using for years. It has always turned out perfect. This time it is grainy. I am so disappointed.
I always use this recipe too, and mine turned out grainy for the first time, so I don't know what I did.
it might be the sugar, my Mom used the same recipe for decades and found out different brands come out differtent
I used the Marshmallow recipe. I
<ve made it 4 years people love it now 2 batches grainy
