Hi Esther,
So sorry this happened!
There are a few factors that can contribute to the crumbs becoming one piece of chocolate. It's hard to know what exactly contributed in this case, but make sure to avoid overmixing or using too much chocolate. Also don't let the chocolate mixture cool for too long.

I hope this helps!
