I decided to make Million-dollar Fudge this holiday season. I got all the ingredients. I started up the cooking process yesterday.
Now, please, don't criticize what I did. I already know I made a mistake. The question is, how do I rectify it?
The mistake: Instead of using evaporated or regular milk, I used sweetened condensed milk. The fudge (which calls for four CUPS of sugar) is a thick, gritty, overly-sweet mess. It set up just fine! It smells nice! It also has a pleasant undertone of caramel, no doubt due to the extra cooking I gave it when I realized that things weren't going the way they should.
How do I de-grit it? I'm going to add cocoa powder to it to cut the sweetness and, well, add chocolate flavor, but how do I get that gorgeous, smooth texture?
