The 4 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |

| Sweetened condensed milk | 1 (14 oz) can | The base that creates creamy richness |
| Semi-sweet chocolate chips | 2 cups | Good quality matters—Guittard, Ghirardelli, or your favorite |

That’s it. No cream. No sugar. No corn syrup. Just four simple ingredients that transform into liquid gold.
