A few tips help avoid graininess or hard fudge altogether. Grainy fudge contains sugar crystals. Hard fudge is a result of excessive syrup temperatures, which frequently goes hand-in-hand with heating too quickly. This causes graininess because the sugar didn't have time to dissolve completely. Other causes of sugar crystals include inadequate stirring or a lack of sufficient fluids or fat in the syrup. Adding 1-tsp of Cream of Tartar or a little bit of fondant to the syrup may help dissolve sugar for a creamier texture.
