1. Position rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Butter two 6-inch skillets, set aside.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the skillets, and smooth the top with a spoon. Spread the remaining chocolate chips and nuts on top. Bake for about 17 minutes or until golden brown on the edge but still slightly soft in the center. (If you have one big skillet you should bake it for 22 to 25 minutes).
