Save the fudge and don't throw it out like I did several years ago. I made two batches and both didn't harden, so not thinking I threw it away in the garbage. Save the fudge which is like frosting and use it to frost some homemade brownies.
When candy doesn't harden I've never found any way to make it right. Use it as icing or a topping for ice cream or cake.
That's what I did when I tried a new peanut butter fudge recipe. It didn't set, even after refrigerating and freezing, so I used it as an ice cream topping, along with chocolate syrup and chopped nuts.
Try heating it slightly & and adding a little more powered sugar.
I made a batch last night and it didnt set so I tried cooking a lil more and it still didnt so my next step is Im gonna try to do the powdered sugar again , But I have a question can I just add more peanut butter instead!
How do you fix fudge that is to soft. I added 1 1/2 cups of water and it is still soft. Can I so something else instead of throwing it all away
Put it back in the pan and cook it longer. It has ALWAYS worked for me.
Even if it has not setup cook it even when all the ingredients are already mixed?
Bottle in a pretty jar, tie on an ice cream scoop and gift it as peanut butter fudge ice cream topping!
I cannot tell you how many times I have recooked fudge even when its been poured in a pan and sat for a day. Add a little milk and stir constantly to keep it from burning and keep scraping down the sides.

I have a fudge recipe that does not require cooking. It has peanut butter in it. It calls for powdered sugar. Perhaps you could add some powdered/confectioners sugar in it. Work it a bit and maybe that would do it. But I have never tried this.
Try putting some in the freezer, it may harden enough and could be eaten cold.
This one will hardened.

I made my peanut butter fudge similar to this same ingredients however my problem is that it didnt harden completely. So what do I do???? Im about to pull my hair out..lol
This very same thing happened to me last night. It sure is frustrating!! I cleaned out the jar from the marshmallow cream I had used in the recipe and poured the fudge into it to use as ice cream topping and put it in the rerigerator. I had put it back on the stove and tried to cook it a little longer but it started to get little hard bits in it.
Roll it into balls, refrigerate until cold, and dip in melted chocolate. YUM
That was a pretty dumb reply to this post. If it wont get hard how the heck do you roll it up! O.o
Freeze it??
Most the time it his sticky and thick so you can roll into a ball, It just doesn't harden.
Add more powdered sugar
That's not a dumb question! I made peanut butter fudge and it is not hard but it is way too soft. I can't still make balls out of it and dip in chocolate!
I had a similar experience today. I have never made fudge until today, and I wanted to use an old fashioned Hershey's original fudge recipe - without marshmallow in it and without using any shortcuts. Just sugar, whole milk, butter, vanilla and cocoa. Of course, it was a damp & rainy evening - I'm always up for a challenge lol... Now since the fudge I made was cocoa based, not peanut butter I don't know if that would make a difference. Anyway, I had let it go slightly above the soft ball stage the recipe called for, but once I went to whip it it was not getting thick. Not knowing exactly what it was supposed to look like, I poured it in the pan anyway and then found that it just would not set. I even tried to set it in the freezer and when that did nothing, I took it straight from the freezer, scraped it back into a pot - this time a smaller pot than before - and brought it back up to a boil - yes, I did this even though the nuts and the vanilla had already been added.
Refrigerate it. Might help.
Or use my mother's old trick and incorporate it into something else as a filling, topping or base.
I make alot of 'Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge' this time of year. I love the idea of rolling it into balls and coating in pwd. sugar or cocoa powder (truffles). Going to use that one!
when mine don't turn out we jokinly call it 'Spoon fudge' and eat it off the cookie sheet!
I have found using a candy thermometer helps alot.
How do I fix my fudge that crumbled?
I just had this happen to me but I didn't want to just throw it away so I mixed in a block of cream cheese, skinned, chopped, and mixed in a bag of apples, and then I topped it with a half a bag of miniature dark chocolate chips. Made a delicious apple salad for dessert.
Mine to did this and i melted chocolate and used filling for mini peanut butter cups. Perfect and yummy.
