Category: Brownies/Blondies

Brownies
1 (19.5-oz.) pkg fudge brownie mix
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 (6-oz.) pkg semisweet chocolate chips
1 (12-oz.) pkg white vanilla chips

Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 to 4 tbsp hot water
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 to 1 cup pecan halves

Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. In large bowl, combine brownie mix, water, oil and eggs; beat 50 strokes with spoon. Add 1/2 cup pecans, the chocolate chips and 1 cup of the vanilla chips; mix well. Spread in greased pan. Bake for 28 to 34 minutes or until center is set. Remove from oven; immediately sprinkle with remaining 1 cup vanilla chips. Return to oven for 1 minute to soften chips; spread evenly over brownies with back of spoon. Cool.

In small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients except pecan halves; beat until smooth. (Mixture will be thin.) Spoon over melted white vanilla chips; spread to cover. Arrange pecan halves over frosting. Cool 1 1/2 hours or until completely cooled. Cut into bars.
