Why is my fantasy fudge too soft?

[baemonfan33]

Hi! I'm having a bit of trouble, friends. My fantasy fudge came out too soft . I followed the recipe, but it's not as firm as I want. Does any culinary expert here know what I might have done wrong? Thanks for any tips!

It sounds like the fudge didn't set properly because of the cooking temperature. Next time, try using a candy thermometer to ensure it reaches the right temperature (around 238°F soft-ball stage). Also, stirring vigorously during cooling can help achieve a firmer texture. Hope this helps!

Your fantasy fudge might be too soft due to undercooking the sugar syrup, not reaching the correct temperature (soft ball stage around 235-240°F), or not cooling it sufficiently before beating, which helps it to set properly.

Hey there! It might need a longer cooking time or a bit more cooling to set properly. Hope that helps!
