My daughter has made some fudge that isn't setting. What can she add to thicken it? I thought of cornstarch, but we don't know how much or if it will change the flavor. I hope someone can help us out.

If your fudge didn't set, it probably wasn't heated hot enough. You can put the fudge back on the stove with 1 cup of water and heat until the candy thermometer reads 235 - 245 degrees F.
When you say you "put the fudge back on the stove with 1 cup of water" did you ADD the water to the fudge? Or are you placing the fudge in a pan by itself and cooking it OVER the 1 cup of water?
What if it was done in microwave
I cant believe itll set adding water to it. I use the marshmallow recipe.
If you font have a thermometer
I reheated fudge 3 times and it still didn't set. Lastly I added more sugar....didn't work. Help
I tried that also it bubbled hard for almost 15 minutes ,I didn't want it to scorch, ,I let it cool 15 minutes and beat w/ mixer..Still won't set
I've used the easy method in sweetened caramel carnation milk and white chocolate with fresh bananas. Put it in the pan.. but it's hasn't set in is all sticky still even had a blast in the freezer! Did I not heat it enough ?
You must have a candy thermometer and watch it carefully. Dont try to hurry it by to high of heat. And dont walk away from fudge till its in your prepared pan.
If the fudge did not set up, please don't throw it in the garbage. Use the fudge as frosting, and use it to frost some cookies or frost the top of a cake.
I think the only thing that might work is adding powdered sugar a bit at a time until it gets to the point that it will hold its shape. I did that once when I was making pecan logs and the center part just would not hold its shape.
Do not add powder sugar. This will make it toooo sweet,
Put it in microwave till it starts to boil, then beat it
Not really a solution as such, apart from adding more sugar or something to thicken the mixture a little bit more, why not make a fudge cake out of the mixture instead of chucking it away the sugar and butter are already there! Just add flour and two eggs and a little bacarbanate of soda you may have to heat the mixture slightly to mix in the flour, but very possible to make, as a guide all I do is put enough flour untill it slowly drops of the spoon put in a large cake bowl/tray 180 degrees for about an hour I used a slow cooker bowl, worked for me!
I had that problem with the fudge that I made this afternoon. So this is the recipe that I have for fudge.
2 packages- semi-sweet baking chocolate chips
melt the chocolate chips with the milk on the stove top till chocolate is just about melted. Then add vanilla, stir till fully set. Line pan (8x8 aka 8" is a good size) with wax paper. Then pour into pan will set in 2 hours. Then cut into squares.
Well I did just as it had said but set it for 5 hours and never set. So I came online here and did the powder sugar, vanilla pudding instance mix and four jumbo Marshmallow then I had stir for 20 minutes or longer till it looked like it should be cake / brownie mix.
I have thrown out so many batches of gritty frosting until I did one simple step - put a lid on your pot for the slow boiling time. I even leave the lid on when I take it off the stove to cool ... worked perfectly - no grainy frosting! Hope this works for you.
my fudge came out soft, So I am going to Buy a bag of pretzels and place the not quit as hard as it should be fudge square apon a pretzel:))
If it doesn't set up there is nothing you can do but eat it with a spoon throw it out or melt use as syrup
