| I have never made what I considered "good" fudge. For whatever reason, whether recipe or what, it is always smooth and creamy. I like my fudge gritty. Does anyone have a gritty recipe or a reason why some fudge is creamy, some gritty? |

| I always thought that gritty fudge, along with gritty frosting (boiled recipe) was a sign of overcooking. My fudge recipe calls for a full rolling boil for seven minutes, and it's never gritty. Are you looking for a texture that feels like you're crunching on the sugar crystals? Maybe some extra boiling time, but I've never really heard of gritty fudge! Good luck! |

| Well, I was just looking at recipes and I suppose the word "gritty" was not the right choice. No, I'm not wanting it to be crystalized, but perhaps more dry? Crumbly maybe? LOL Yes, I think a little bit crumbly would be a better way to phrase it. |

| My fudge gets dry and crumbly if I leave it out on a plate and don't store it in a container or cover it up. Just be careful, because if that's what you're looking for, it can REALLY get dried out. |

| You might be thinking of the old Hershey's Cocoa fudge. My dad made it all the time but I can't get it right! |

| This is our favorite fudge. It comes out gritty, which I thought was wrong. I had decided not to make it this year because of that. Now that I know some people like it that way, I'll go ahead and make it. You could forgo the fancy salt if you want to, and omit the salt on the top. We like the salty/sweet combo, though. Fleur de Sel Fudge 1/2 cup milk 1. Grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Set aside. |

| If you want GOOD, EASY fudge every time, use the recipe on the Condensed milk can - it cannot be beat and turns out perfect EVERY time, with only three ingredients - can of condensed milk, a package of flavored baking chips and a teaspoon of good vanilla, combined in a double boiler and poured into a wax paper-lined 8"x8" pan. |
