Beat on medium speed until smooth. Pour 1/2 the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over batter in pan. Top with remaining batter, covering chips completely. Sprinkle topping mixture (recipe follows) evenly over batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly. Cool completely and cut into squares.
