Chop or break chocolate into smaller pieces in the top of a double boiler allow with chocolate chips and let melt until smooth. If you don't have a double boiler, place chips and chocolate in a small saucepan and cook on low heat or place in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds and stir and repeat until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour over bars and spread quickly before chocolate sets. Place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set before cutting. Makes about 16 bars.
