Black and White Brownies

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. In large bowl, combine brownie mix, water, oil and eggs; beat 50 strokes with spoon. Add 1/2 cup pecans, the chocolate chips and 1 cup of the vanilla chips; mix well. Spread in greased pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees F for 28 to 34 minutes or until center is set. Remove from oven; immediately sprinkle with remaining 1 cup vanilla chips. Return to oven for 1 minute to soften chips; spread evenly over brownies with back of spoon. Cool.
3. In small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients except pecan halves; beat until smooth. (Mixture will be thin.) Spoon over melted white vanilla chips; spread to cover. Arrange pecan halves over frosting. Cool 1 1/2 hours or until completely cooled. Cut into bars.
