In a small saucepan, combine milk and sugar. Add butter and bring to a slight boil, stirring so nothing burns on the bottom. Remove saucepan from heat, and stir in chocolate chips. Add hot coffee and stir until smooth. You may need to add more coffee if frosting is too thick. Also, you will likely have leftover frosting.
