2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey

1 cup powdered sugar
1 (16.5-ounce) roll refrigerated peanut butter cookies (Pillsbury Create 'n Bake suggested) 3/4 to 1 cup honey roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter and honey with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar; beat just until smooth. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
While filling chills, heat oven to 350 degrees. Make peanut butter cookies as directed on package. Cool completely.
Spread 1/3 cup cream cheese mixture on bottom of 1 cookie; top with another cookie, bottom side down. Press cookies together slightly so cream cheese mixture just extends past edges of cookies. Roll edge of cream cheese mixture in chopped peanuts to generously coat. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Serve immediately, or store in single layer tightly covered in refrigerator up to 4 hours (cookies stored longer become very soft).

Makes 8 sandwich cookies.
