Don't use milk as your chocolate may seize as it contains too much water.
Use heavy cream - heat the cream on your stove, add chopped chocolate and mix. Add vanilla and some Grand Marnier or bourbon (1 tsb) if you wish.
Good luck

I usually buy a jar of Nutella and microwave it until it's soft then pour it over the cake, refrigerate for an hour and YUM...
