The first batch I made came out DELICIOUS! The second batch had a very grainy taste like the others have said before, but my boyfriend and my sister love it! I made this for Valentine's Day, and I'll probably try it again today with the tweaks Mark left earlier. = Thanks!

Made a batch of this two weeks ago - turned out good, but wanted to try a couple modifications this time.

Increase the amount of chocolate a little (3 or 4 ounces helps the flavor a lot - 2 oz. had a very mild chocolate taste, and the texture wasn't quite as creamy. Save the vanilla to mix in right before the final stir so it doesn't cook out. Note: this fudge sets up below 130, so I would remove the thermometer, add the vanilla and mix once you fall below 140. Stir very vigorously for a minute or so - this breaks up the forming sugar crystals and smooths out the texture - scrimping here, or letting it set up in the pot will result in the grainy/sandy textures some people report. Do it right and it comes out rich and smooth.

Excellent, decadent fudge! Nice and creamy and pretty easy to make. We roll the edges in coconut for "German Chocolate Fudge"! Mmmmmmm.

I love fudge, but when I tried to make this recipe, it came out VERY grainy and tasted more like penuche than chocolate fudge. However, I did not give this recipe an entirely bad rating because some of the fault is probably mine. I did not follow the ingredients exactly - I did not have half-and-half on hand, so I made a mixture of half heavy whipping cream and half skim milk. I also used dark brown sugar instead of light brown. But besides that, I followed every letter of the recipe, and used a candy thermometer for exactness. I might try this recipe again with exactly the right ingredients, but I am not expecting to have different results.

Fudge was very easy to make and had a great rich chocolate taste, but turned out a little bit grainy in texture. Overall, I was extremely pleased with how easy it was to make. (I used the soft-ball stage test since I don't have a candy thermometer and it worked very well.
