Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of hot water. Put sugar, milk, cream and butter in a saucepan and stir to dissolve. Bring to a boil and stir it into the melted chocolate. Pour this mixture back into the pan and bring to a boil, stirring. Pour it back into the bowl and let cool, stirring occasionally.
