The most likely reason is that you did not cook it for long enough, and it did not reach a high enough temperature. Cook to the soft ball stage (it forms a soft ball when dropped into water).

Fudge is very tricky to make. After it reaches the soft to medium ball stage (when dropped into water, it will be soft to medium soft ball when rolled in fingers), it should be set into a sink of cold water (approx 3-4 inches) to help the cooling down stage for 12 minutes. Remove from sink of water and add vanilla or maple extract (extract helps to thicken also) and beat with electric beater approx 5 minutes or so, on high until it starts to lose it's high gloss. Then quickly pour into buttered pan and it will be done.

It just means you had not cooked your ingridents correctly or long enough. You might find its partially set but that the sugar may have not fully dissolved. So rather than a smooth fudge it will be crystal like due to the undissolved sugar

To make your fudge harden try placing it in the fridge for about 2 hours. This will ensure that it is cooled, and firm.

You can put it on ice cream or fruit. Maybe mixing it with warm milk would make Hot Chocolate.

Store your fudge in an airtight container, then moisture in in will not evaporate so quickly and it is less likely to become hard before you eat it

How do you remove fudge from the pan?

To remove fudge from a pan, you can line the pan with parchment paper before pouring in the fudge mixture. Once the fudge has set, you can simply lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Alternatively, you can also use a knife to loosen the edges of the fudge from the pan before turning it out onto a cutting board.


Why do you need foil to make fudge?

You don't need foil to make fudge. Lining a baking pan with buttered foil and pouring the fudge into it is just one way to make it easy to remove the fudge from the pan when set. It also means less work cleaning the pan. The foil is thrown away when the fudge is cut up. You could just as easily use buttered baking paper, which is possibly more convenient since it's not as likely to tear as foil is during handling. Or you can simply butter the pan and pour in the fudge directly, either turning it onto a board to cut up when set, or cutting it in the pan. It's just a matter of personal preference.
