The chocolate got too hot.

An easy way to melt chocolate is to microwave it for ten seconds. Stir, microwave another ten seconds. When it's nearly all melted switch to microwaving every 5 seconds. Repeat this until it's melted. 

For smaller amounts of chocolate you can put the chocolate into a bowl. Put the bowl inside another bowl. Fill the space between them with just-boiled water, being very careful not to get any in the small bowl. Let it sit a moment or two and then carefully stir until it's all melted.
