• Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
• Drop remaining peanut butter (about 1 1/2 cups) by very small spoonfuls (we use a baby spoon) all over on top of warm bars. Let set for about 5-6 minutes and gently spread when peanut butter has begun to melt. It will spread easily when the peanut butter has softened on the warm bars. Don't try to spread it while still thick.
• Then let the bars cool until peanut butter has set up.
• While cooling, mix together frosting ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and spread on top of bars.

• Drop the peanut butter in small dollops over the brownie batter, then run a knife through the batter to swirl.
• Bake brownies 22-27 minutes, rotating pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, for about 2 hours. Remove brownies from pan by grabbing two sides of foil and lifting. Cut into squares.
