Homemade Chocolate Icing (Grandmom's)
You won't believe how simple this is!

1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can of sweetened condensed milk

Mix chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in saucepan. Stir continuously until melted and mixed into an icing (in minutes).   When cake layers have cooled, apply icing.  Do not let icing harden before applying to cake.  Best to start making after cake has cooled.
