02 - In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Fold in flour and salt until just incorporated. Stir in white chocolate chips and pecans if using.
04 - Divide each batter into their respective prepared pans, smoothing the tops evenly 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.

07 - Arrange the brownie and blondie squares together on a serving platter and offer as desired.
