Should I stir fudge while boiling?

[Keith_]

Howdy!! Wondering if stirring fudge while boiling is wise. I heard some mixed thoughts. Some say constant stirring can cause graininess, while others swear by it for smoothness. What's your take? I'm torn between letting it be and stirring like crazy!

Absolutely avoid stirring fudge while boiling! This can cause the sugar crystals to form unevenly, leading to a grainy texture. Let the fudge simmer undisturbed until it reaches the desired thickness.

Hi there! Never stir the mixture during cooking or sugar could crystallize again. The mixture may seize and become grainy.
