Don't feel bad. The first time I made fudge this winter, I overbeat it.
You need to stop when it's just *barely* starting to turn lighter in color.
Mine was a big pile of chocolate rocks.

I just never even buy chocolate squares. Seems like a pain in the butt to
melt them, but that's just me. I'm glad you like doing it the easy way.
With my tendonitis, I had to find some way of doing this.
Have fun with your fudge!
