I think the sugar has to "melt"-- the temperature of whatever the sugar is stirred into needs to be high enough to dissolve the sugar.

Melt some coconut oil with your sugar first, and thin your chocolate with coconut oil.

I tried it today with powdered sugar, much better. Not grainy.

Melt the sugar FIRST in a sauce pan. Then you can add the other ingredients, i.e., evaporated milk and chocolate, butter, flavoring, etc. NEVER add water to chocolate. Good luck.
