These brownies have been in my recipe collection since I was 9 years old. I've added to and altered the recipe over the years, and now I think it has the perfect amount of everything, including semisweet and milk chocolate chips and pecans. They are my husband's and son's favorite. -Louise Stacey, Dane, Wisconsin

Excellent! No complaints, these brownies were awesome. I baked them in a 8 x 8 pan instead since my husband likes his brownies to be thick so they had to bake a lot longer. This will be my go-to brownie recipe!
