In small bowl, mix brown sugar, 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter and 1 egg. Spoon peanut butter mixture by tablespoonfuls evenly onto brownie batter. Top with random tablespoonfuls of remaining brownie batter. Cut through batter several times with knife for marbled design.

Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean or almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.

In medium bowl, mix Peanut Butter Frosting ingredients, using spoon, until smooth and spreadable. Spread frosting over brownies. For brownies, cut into 6 rows by 5 rows. Store tightly covered.

Don't like crunchy peanut butter? Use creamy peanut butter instead.
For extra peanut buttery taste, stir 1/3 cup peanut butter chips into the brownie batter.
