Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
In large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk, egg and cocoa powder. Beat slowly until thoroughly blended. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt until blended. Stir in pecans.
Pour into a buttered and floured 8-inch (20 cm) square cake pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool in pan on rack.

Meanwhile, melt butter, milk and semisweet chocolate chips; blend until mixture is completely smooth. Add icing sugar, mix well. Spread over cooled brownies. Allow glaze to set for 30 min before cutting into squares.
