How to Make Danish Chocolate Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) margarine, 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar, and 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 8 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon baking powder until smooth.
Carefully pour the batter evenly over the baked bottom layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips generously over the top.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
