The problem is that I have a bottle of Hershey's syrup and I was wondering if there was a way to thicken it up like fudge so that it is less syrupy and more milky...HELP IF YOU CAN! THANKS!

I am not trying to make "hot fudge" just "thicken" the syrup...

What I'd do is melt it with chocolate chips or some other chocolate. Even if you don't have chocolate chips or any other type of real chocolate you can add corn starch (I know it sounds gross) to thicken it slightly while still keeping the flavor. I'd add the chocolate WITH a little bit of cornstarch to give it the consistency of a real ice cream fudge.

The syrup is the wrong stuff. It won't just thicken if you add cornstarch, flour etc. it will take on that raw flour flavor or worse. The only other option may be to combine it with melted chocolate (kinda like a ganache) It may seize on you though.
Just make the Hot fudge. It really sounds like it is what you want. Start with cocoa or chocolate.
you can try one of these recipes:
Hot Fudge Sauce
"Decadent thick and delicious hot fudge sauce. Simple to make and so much better than store bought!"
INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Combine butter, cocoa, sugar and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Carefully pour hot mixture into a blender and blend for 2 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately. Store in refrigerator.
Hot Fudge Sauce
"This is a very classic hot fudge for all your chocolate whims
INGREDIENTS
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
DIRECTIONS
Fill the lower pot of a double boiler half way and bring to a boil. Melt chocolate, butter, and salt together in upper pot. Add the sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition.
Gradually add the evaporated milk, a little at a time and continue stirring until well mixed. Serve hot over ice cream. Extra sauce maybe stored in refrigerator and reheated in microwave.

Hershey's syrup is the wrong tool for the task. If you want hot fudge, don't start with syrup, simply buy or make hot fudge. Trying to thicken Hershey's syrup will result in a burnt sticky mess.

Do not add flour, it will be a big icky glob. I have stirred a little condensed sweetened milk in well & heated it but Personally didn't care for it...too sweet. If you're going to put anything in it, try a sm. bit of cornstarch in a sm. amt. of cold water, stir well & add to Hershey's syrup. Heat for 10 sec. at a time untill right consistancy. Personally, I just buy fudge topping or make it with fudge frosting.

I took a little confectionary (powered) sugar and mixed it with the Hershey Syrup. It thickened it right up!
God luck!

you can try to boil it down - but I just use it straight out of the bottle
put it in a bowl and heat it in the microwave - then add a little bit of flour and whisk it - it should thicken up. Maybe add a drop or two of vanilla to make it taste better too.

The first two people are right, you can try to boil it down but then again is may just burn and result in a big mess. But try it and add some milk and boil it...
