In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir frequently to dissolve the sugar, and heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low and add the peanut butter. Stir continuously until the peanut butter fully melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy (around 5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all flavors.
Transfer the peanut butter fondue to a fondue pot or a heat-safe serving bowl kept warm with a tealight. Stir occasionally to prevent it from thickening.
Serve warm with your choice of dippers, such as sliced apples, bananas, strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, graham crackers, or cookies.
