How to Make Orange And Chocolate Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 11x16 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (115g) softened margarine until smooth.
Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon orange extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon grated orange zest.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 1 cup (170g) mini chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.
Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
**Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces (115g) softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons (30g) softened margarine until smooth.
Gradually beat in 1/4 cup (50g) orange juice concentrate and 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
Frost the cooled squares evenly.
Sprinkle with extra orange zest before slicing into 60 squares (6 rows x 10 columns).
