Combine peanut butter, brown sugar, milk, and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.

Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a boil, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the icing cool for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly and reaches a spreadable consistency.
