    1/2 c  Milk chocolate chips

      2 tb Water

   Batter:

  mixture and set it aside.
   Refrigerate remaining chocolate for 10 minutes, until thickened but
  still creamy.  Fold it into the whipped topping and spread evenly in
  the cooled cake.  Refrigerate for 1/2 hour, then drizzle the
  set-aside chocolate over the mousse.  Refrigerate  2 more hours.
