How To Prevent Grainy Fudge
When the fudge is hot, it is a saturated solution of unstable sugar crystals. Moving it around and agitating it will cause crystallization resulting in a grainy texture.
To prevent this, gently spread the fantasy chocolate fudge in the pan and let it sit at room temperature until set for at least one hour.
