These bar cookies were so different and tasty - definitely something I had never had before. Chocolate and orange is one of my favorite flavor combinations. I think FoxyJ said these were her grandmother's own recipe and they're something I'll be making again.

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
