This was my first attempt at fudge and I first obtained a taffy-like texture after 16 hours in the fridge (where I had put the mixture immediately after finishing with the stand mixer). I thought maybe it was due to the paddle attachment not reaching all of the mixture in the bowl (I often get this problem with single recipes of waffles), meaning not enough air would have been incorporated in the mixture. But...after eating a bit of the "melting" taffy to taste it at my friends', I brought it back to a "brick" with a spatula and put it in their fridge. 3 hours later, the mixture looked like it was supposed to in the beginning!! I then thought my fridge was the problem, but the temperature is fine and the fudge hasn't "melted" since, even on the countertop. So, I don't know what to think (and my understanding of fudge chemistry is limited), maybe the melting and rebuilding incorporated enough air for the magic to happen? Anyway, thank you again for sharing this recipe with us!
