Chocolate Chip Cake Bars

Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (I normally use yellow, but only had white in the house today and it worked fine too)
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips, divided
• 1 tablespoon shortening

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the first six ingredients. 
2. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in 1-1/2 cups of chocolate chips. 
3. Spread in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. 
4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. 
5. Melt shortening with the remaining chocolate chips (microwave on medium, stirring periodically)
6. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top (once cooled). Cut into bars.
