For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or a combination of semi-sweet and dark chocolate. Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. Be careful not to overbake the brownies, as they will become dry. They should be slightly fudgy in the center. For easier cutting, chill the frosted brownies for about 30 minutes before serving.
