Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Stir 1/2 cup pecans and the chocolate chips into prepared batter.

Bake as directed, 25 to 30 minutes; cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, butter, and brown sugar, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Cool 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Pour frosting evenly over brownies. Sprinkle remaining pecans over top. Allow to stand 30 to 45 minutes, or until frosting is set.
