MAKE THE BARS: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, butter, and egg; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until no longer crumbly, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the peanut butter cups; press the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan.
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the cornstarch, caramel topping, and peanut butter until smooth.
Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil, about 25 minutes.
Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer; remove pan from heat and stir in the peanuts.
Spread the mixture evenly over the warm crust; bake for 6-7 minutes longer, or until almost set.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
Spread evenly with the frosting; sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into bars; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Bring to room temperature before serving; but they're just as yummy cold!
