Topping 

In small bowl microwave the chocolate chips and oil until melted. I microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each till you get a smooth consistency. Don’t over cook it or it will harden. Cool slightly and spread over the filling. Chop the mounds candy bars and sprinkle over chocolate. 

Refrigerate until chocolate sets. Cut into desired sizes after chocolate sets.

If you leave in the refrigerator overnight before cutting you will have to let it sit out for a few minutes for it to cut easy.
