Tips:

Use creamy peanut butter. This will give the brownies a smooth and rich texture.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will prevent the frosting from melting.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to do it in short increments, stirring in between, so that you don't burn the chocolate.
