Place the gingersnaps in a food processor and process until finely ground. Add butter and 2 tablespoons sugar, and process briefly until thoroughly combined.

To make the filling, place the cream cheese in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Drizzle caramel topping over filling, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
