This is what Nana suggests for a recipe RX when your fudge doesn't thicken properly.
Nana's Tip: Some folks have reported that their fudge did not fully thicken. I think that today's chocolate chips are not of the same consistency as chips made in 1943 -- when the recipe was created. Try adding an extra six ounces of chips, that should solve the problem. My Motto: More chocolate is always better!
Another option for firmer fudge is the addition of 1/8 cube paraffin wax.
