Christmas is not complete without chocolate fudge. Michael prefers chocolate fudge made with granulated sugar and no marshmallow. He likes it grainy. Go figure. I prefer creamy fudge with pecans. My first batch of fudge turned out very grainy. I am still getting used to cooking on an electric stove and it just over cooked. The second batch that Emily and I made today was perfect! A few years ago I found a recipe online for Aunt Teen's Creamy Chocolate Fudge and it is the only recipe I use. Follow the directions to the letter. Don't substitute. Don't listen to the commenter's who make suggestions. Don't double the recipe. Just make it exactly as written. If you cook it at a rolling boil for five minutes it will come out perfect!
