For Crust: Combine graham crackers, the 1/4 cup sugar, and the 1/4 cup finely chopped peanuts in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the 1/2 cup melted butter.
Press mixture evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 11- x 7- x 1 1/2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 5 minutes, then cool.
For Filling: Melt the 1/2 cup butter or margarine and the chocolate in a heavy large saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in the 1 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir just until combined. Stir in flour and the 1/2 cup chopped peanuts. Spread evenly over crust.
Bake 20 minutes more. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
Spread with Peanut Butter Frosting. Cut brownie into small squares. Place a few honey-roasted or regular peanuts on each square. If desired, place each brownie in a small candy cup.
For Peanut Butter Frosting: Beat butter or margarine and peanut butter in a bowl with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add half the sifted powdered sugar, heating well. Beat in the milk and vanilla.
Gradually beat in remaining powdered sugar and enough milk to make a frosting of spreading consistency.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Absolutely delicious cookie. Could be consider a candy instead of a cookie. Could only make half a recipe because I only had half a package of the Peanut Butter Cookies, but the pan disappeared in a short period of time - 1/2 day.
