Add two tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and two tablespoons of butter after removing the chocolate from the heat. Mix continuously as you add the contents to ensure the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add a dash of whole milk if the chocolate is too thick. Pour some condensed milk into the chocolate if it’s not sweet enough. You can also purchase pure cocoa butter in chips if you truly need it.

You may add substances that can help if your melt has a few lumps or bumps: shortening, butter, milk, or unflavored oil (such as canola).
