Melt chocolate chips in saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Lightly stir in butterscotch chips not letting them totally melt. Pour onto the baked cookie crust, and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. Let cool in pan. Cover and chill until firm. Or pop them in the freezer. 

Lift uncut cookies out of pan using foil as handles. Cut crosswise in 1” sticks using a large chef's knife. Cut in half again making shorter sticks.
