Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or nonstick cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir brownie mix, oil, water and 1 egg for fudgelike brownies (or 2 eggs for cakelike brownies) until well blended. Spread in pan.

In small bowl, mix brown sugar, 1/4 cup peanut butter and 1 egg. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto batter. Cut through batter several times with knife for marbled design.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean or almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

In medium bowl, mix all frosting ingredients, using spoon, until smooth and spreadable. Spread frosting over brownies. For brownies, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows. Store tightly covered.

Substitution: Don't like crunchy peanut butter? Use creamy peanut butter instead.
