I made this fudge, but after beating it about 3 to 4 minutes it became grainy and was no longer something you would pour. It was all pieces and dry. What did I do wrong?

I used 1c granulated sugar + 3/4c packed brown sugar instead of all granulated, substituted 1 1/2t maple extract for vanilla and chopped, candied bacon for the walnuts. Beat for about 11 minutes. FABULOUS! -

I made this for my husband for Christmas, and he loved it. I followed the recipe, using cream and omitting the nuts. I also beat it by hand after because I didn't want it to dry out. I beat it for about 10 minutes. It was smooth, sweet and creamy. My husband said it's the best maple fudge he's had. Thanks. -
