I can't get my fudge to thicken

by Brenna
(Coarsegold, CA)

HELP I can't get my fudge to thicken.

I followed a recipe to the T, but it never thickened for set up. I used a lot of ingredients, and I just want to know if I can salvage what I've made somehow. Here's the recipe and instructions. Please, tell me how I can thicken it and not destroy the flavor!

Can I just add corn starch??

Ingredients:
4 cups white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 (16 ounce) jar peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Directions:

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, brown sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in marshmallow creme until well incorporated and melted. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth; spread in prepared pan. Let cool before cutting into squares.

Prep Time:
10 Min

MY FUDGE DIDN'T HARDEN EITHER
by: Tish

I just made the Hershey fudge recipe. It called for a candy thermometer, which I used and my fudge is like a dish of delicious syrup.

Has anyone anwered your question? Can we salvage this recipe by reheating the whole mixture?

Worse comes to worse I'll drizzle it over a cake.

Fix Runny Fudge
by: Angie

Sorry to say, I haven't found a way to fix runny fudge after the cooking process is completed.

The best option I think is to use it as syrup if it is really runny (over ice cream, etc.) or use the runny fudge as frosting on a cake if it is sort of set, but just not firm.

Anyone else have any good ideas?
