C & H brand is prbably the best one on the market.  Some store brands are o.k. but as you have found, others are not. Here's a great recipe to try.  It is not grainy nor all that sweet (at least to...

Yes, it can be MW'ed but it will harden up very quickly so you have to work quickly to shape/use it.
