Double Chocolate Pecan Brownies

Submitted by Librarybaker

"I don't remember where I first clipped this recipe, but it has served me well for a long time. This was my children's favorite brownie when they were little. The recipe makes a large batch, but they'll be eaten quickly! If you do have some leftovers, they can be frozen. They also are very rich. Have a tall glass of cold milk nearby! I prefer milk chocolate chips, but semisweet work, too."
