- Make sure to use creamy peanut butter for the filling, as chunky peanut butter may not spread as smoothly.
- Do not skip the step of lining the baking pan with parchment paper, as it will make it easier to remove the brownies for cutting.
- Be careful when spreading the peanut butter filling over the brownie batter to ensure an even layer.
- Avoid cutting the brownies while they are still warm, as they may crumble. Allow them to cool completely for clean cuts.
