ok....
sweetened condensed and evaporated are not the same. Not even close, imo
(sweetened is just that, sweetened, and added to your overall sugar content)
The sugar... thats workable
The grainy thing, could be a number is issues, among them, cooking to to high of a temp.
Matterhorn fan is right too... they could not have been cooked enough.
it sounds as if you are cooking by time, and not by temp?
candy is really a temp sensitive thing
