Jello Pudding Fudge

I am not sure what I did wrong. The mixture began to get thick, like pudding, before it ever came to a boil. Therefore, I could not follow the directions and allow it to boil for one minute. The result was like hot fudge topping for ice cream. I would like to know what I did wrong. The flavor was outstanding. It did not go to waste. I ran out and got some ice cream. But I would like to have fudge with the same incredible taste. vphillips
