Troubleshooting Common Issues
Fudge Too Soft?
If your fudge is too soft, refrigerate it for a bit longer or cook the sugar and milk mixture for an additional 30 seconds during boiling.
Grainy Texture?
Ensure the sugar fully dissolves before boiling and stir constantly to prevent crystallization.
Fudge Sticks to the Pan?
Line the pan with parchment paper before pouring the fudge mixture for easy removal.
