Simply cook it in 1-minute intervals to prevent it from burning. Well-made smooth fudge is created by heating sugar butter milk corn syrup chocolate and other ingredients to 234 degrees Fahrenheit before letting cool to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour the fudge.
Fudge will not set. Frustrated OK I am making peanut butter fudge and using the same recipe that my family has used for years. It will not set and my mother swears by the old wives tales. She says if you are having your period your fudge will not set.
This is crazy but I am telling you any time I have ever tried it it will not. If your fudge will not set after heating and stirring but it does not have a grainy texture you have cooled your fudge properly but. If your fudge will not set after heating and stirring but it does not have a grainy texture you have cooled your fudge properly but you did not heat it to high enough a temperature during the cooking stage.
To reset soft fudge return it to the pot and add in 1 to 1 12 cups of water per batch of fudge. Fudge is basically a superconcentrated syrup and it sets when sugar dissolved in the water from the butter and milk comes out of solution as the mixture cools and forms crystals. Temperature is your proxy measurement for the concentration of sugar - if you dont hit the right temperature the concentration will be off and your fudge wont set properly.
Vanilla Fudge Not Setting. Answered on 11th November 2016. The Vanilla Fudge is the best-tasting fudge ever.
But I have made it twice and both times it doesnt want to set. When I take it out of the fridge its still mushy. I can cut it.
Fantasy fudge not setting up by. I so totally agree with all of you. Been making Fantasy fudge for over 40 years and now the past couple of years not setting up.
I am glad I found this site and am re-boiling the fudge and then will add some powdered sugar and beat beat beat. I agree Kraft changed their marshmellow fluffcreme. If your fudge didnt set it probably wasnt heated hot enough.
You can put the fudge back on the stove with 1 cup of water and heat until the candy thermometer reads 235 -. Thanks Riven not sure if I will give it a go Ive only got 100g of pistachios and I need to keep them in jars rather than the freezer will bear it in mind for the future though and never ever make fudge with boiling sugar ever again. It still hasnt set so Im scapping it thanks everyone.

Scrape the fudge back into a large saucepan and add 1 12 cups of water. Stir the fudge over low heat until it dissolves. Carefully taste the mixture as the water probably diluted the flavor.
Add more flavorings if necessary. Increase the heat to medium and bring it to a boil. Pour the fudge.
After youve added the maple syrup pour the fudge mixture into your prepared container or mini muffin tins. Place your container or tins in the fridge for two hours or in the freezer if you want it to set more quickly. Once its hardened cut the fudge into 12 pieces or remove it from the muffin tins.

It is not mixed during the cooling process. The cooled fudge is then stirred continuously for about 15 minutes or until it begins to set. Not knowing exactly what it was supposed to look like I poured it in the pan anyway and then found that it just would not set.
I even tried to set it in the freezer and when that did nothing I took it straight from the freezer scraped it back into a pot - this time a smaller pot than before - and brought it back up to a boil - yes I did this even though the nuts and the vanilla had already. Make sure you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk. Evaporated milk will not work and your fudge will likely not set correctly.
You can cook this fudge in the microwave rather than on the stove. Simply cook it in 1-minute intervals to prevent it from burning. Another option is to use a slow cooker for cooking the fudge.
