Chocolate Pecan Brownies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min.
YIELD: 2 dozen.
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.
