⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 king size Hershey's milk chocolate bar, 1 cup chopped pecans

Notes
*Brown butter: You can see step-by-step details on how to brown butter in my Brown Butter Appreciation Post. But if you prefer a quicker recipe, you can just melt the butter in your microwave and these will still be fantastic brownies!**Toasting pecans: I used a couple packets of chopped pecans from the baking aisle, and toasted them in a pan for about 5-10 minutes on medium heat, until fragrant.
