I know it's got to be user error on my part, everybody else makes wonderful fudge with it.

I made the Kraft Fantasy Fudge recipe for years using marshmallow fluff. Unfortunately, the sizes on both the packages of chips and the fluff have changed -- smaller of course -- since the recipe was first published. Wasn't that in the 70s? Anyway, it doesn't turn out the way I remember it. Something isn't quite "right".
I may take a crack at making fudge the way my mom and her grandmother used to in the 40s. Mom said they always kibitzed back and forth on just the right method. Mom liked her fudge grainy while great-grandmother liked hers creamy. Wish I could have been there!
