Chocolate Mousse Bars
For a chocolate extravaganza, use chocolate wafers, instead of vanilla, for
the crust of these creamy bars.

1 1/2 C vanilla wafer crumbs  (about 40 wafers)
1/4 C  (1/2 stick)  margarine or butter, melted
3/4 C whipping  (heavy)  cream
1 package  (6 ounces)  semisweet chocolate chips  (1 cup)
3 eggs
1/3 C sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
Chocolate Topping  (below)

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix wafer crumbs and margarine.  Press in
ungreased square pan,  8 x 8 x 2, or 9 x 9 x 2 inches.  Bake 10 minutes.
Heat whipping cream and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently,
until chocolate is melted;  remove from heat.  Cool about 5 minutes.  Beat
eggs, sugar and salt in large bowl until foamy.  Pour chocolate mixture into
egg mixture, stirring constantly.  Pour over baked layer in pan.  Bake 25 to
35 minutes or until center springs back when touched lightly.  Cool 15
minutes.  Spread with Chocolate Topping.  Refrigerate uncovered about 2 hours
or until chilled.  Refrigerate any remaining bars.  16 bars.
