Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, salt, cocoa, and vanilla extract.
Stir in the sugar and eggs to the chocolate mixture.
Add in the rest of the dry ingredients, flour, and cup of peanut butter, and mix until smooth.
Pour the rest of the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
While the brownies cool, prepare our peanut butter frosting by beating butter, whipping cream, water, and cream cheese in a bowl on medium speed until fluffy.
Gradually beat in cocoa and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies.

Sprinkle peanuts, peanut butter cups, and peanut butter chips on top of the frosting.
Cut into squares and serve or store in an airtight container.
