# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 8-inch square baking pans with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then stir until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and packed brown sugar, whisking until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly. Fold in flour and salt until just incorporated. Stir in white chocolate chips and chopped pecans if using.
04 - Divide each batter evenly into the prepared pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
05 - Bake both pans for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
06 - Allow the baked layers to cool completely in their pans on a wire rack. Using the parchment overhang, lift the slabs out and cut each into 12 squares.
07 - Arrange the brownie and blondie squares together on a serving platter and enjoy.
