So a nexus of having a urge for sweets and wanting to crack open (at least once!) one of the many second-hand cookbooks I've accumulated but not really explored over the past few years led me to:
Salted Peanut Chews
from _Pillsbury Best Cookies Cookbook_ (1997)
Especially satisfying to a salt, sugar, and peanut junkie like me.
Recipe on-line here:
<https://www.pillsburybaking.com/recipes/salted-peanut-chews-2316>
as well as in these photos:

powdered sugar instead of peanut butter chips. i really like
peanuts and peanut butter and most peanut butter chips aren't
going to be that good in comparison (and besides they usually
have palm kernel oil which is gross). oh, i'd not bother
chopping the peanuts either and like to use redskins. :)

why? you are only heating the topping until warmed enough
to put on top, there's no issue with peanut butter and sugar
burning/scorching if you are just warming it. if you are
worried about burning it use a microwave and only heat using
a few seconds at a time until you get the right temperature
or even a double boiler (which i hardly ever do).

peanut butter and corn syrup isn't going to be a
milkshake consistency. are you using lite corn
syrup or something else?
anyways, no, this doesn't make sense to me.
but i think the point i missed here is that i
would be replacing the corn syrup AND the
flavored chips with peanut butter and powdered
sugar.
so, yes, a mistake on my part and i admit that
not being clearer could have messed up someone
else.

i'm well aware of that and read the labels
if i'm in doubt about a product. i don't use
most flavored chips sold because they're often
not very good and the mouth feel is wrong
(slimy, waxy, gross vs. smooth).

the slimy grossness. cocoa butter is a different
fat than palm kernel oil. white chocolate is just
fine nutritionally, but like all things in moderation
is a good idea for extra calories.
i used to make a lot of various desserts and
chocolates. for flavor and mouth feel there wasn't
anything that was better than actual chocolate
(either white, dark or milk). most of the time i
would not cut with other ingredients other than
cream or liquors (or both). sometime chopped nuts.
peanut butter and powdered sugar is very easy and
good.

Back when I baked peanut butter cookies there were no peanut butter
chips, I added chopped and whole peanuts. I used to prefer those
Spanish peanuts with the brown skin still attached, in fact I still
prefer them, they have a more pronounced peanut flavor.
Way back when I worked for Barton's Bonbonaire after school as a stock
boy the white chocolate was real only I didn't like it... to me eating
white chocolate was like eating Spry... Spry was like Crisco.

this is funny though because not having made any

make some a few weeks ago. but she skimped on the

have to make some peanut butter frosting to put on

of course you can make the frosting in
