I made this recipe two times, following the recipe to the letter the first time, and making one substitution the second. The second recipe was better by far, but both turned out with a gritty texture, and the first recipe was just sticky and not right. I did carefully time the cooking, but I have an old electric stove, so I'm willing to say that there was so user error, however, the second batch turned out so much better, I'm just not sure that the cook time was the issue. For the second recipe, I used unsweetened bakers chocolate (6 oz) instead of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the flavor and texture was vastly improved, but, still had the gritty-ness in the mouthfeel when eating the fudge. It's a good recipe, but I hesitate to call in Never Fail. :)
