How to make chocolate chip meringue bars:

Cream margarine and sugars together. Add egg yolks, water and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture. Pat dough into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate morsels over top of dough and gently press into dough. Bake for 10 minutes while making meringue. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add 1 cup brown sugar and beat well. Remove dough from oven and spread meringue across top, making sure to seal edges. Bake at 325° (glass pan) or 350° (metal pan) for 25 minutes. Cool before cutting.
