Combine brown sugar, 1-1/4 cups PEANUT butter and 1/2 cup butter in medium bowl; mix until smooth. Stir eggs; beat until well mixed. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into peanut butter mixture. Stir until well mixed. Pour into greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides. Cool on wire rack.
  3. Combine remaining peanut butter, remaining butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining milk until frosting is spreading consistency. Spread over brownies. Sprinkle with chopped PEANUTS.
