Melt chocolate squares and shortening over hot water, cool.

Pour into greased and floured 13 X 9 inch pan; chill for 30 minutes.

CREAM CHEESE TOPPING:

Beat at lowest speed of electric mixer until well blended. Spread over batter in pan. Melt chocolate square and oil; cool to room temperature. Pipe chocolate in lines, 3/4" apart horizontally down length of pan.

Using toothpick, start from bottom corner of pan and draw it back and forth at 1/2" intervals vertically to create "feather effect".
