fudge at home for a long time. The water drop test is adequate.

A possible cause is that when the recipe says beat the fudge, it means, set
about it with a will and a wooden spoon, :-) until it is the right consistency.
You need to use quite a bit of elbow grease. (Be careful not to drip into your
fudge. ;-) )
Another thing, it is generally better on the second day.
