Doggone it!! Posted this in the wrong place. I'm tryin to figure out how to make the Peanut Dipping Sauce that Baytown Seafood serves with egg rolls. I've eaten it in Van Vleck--don't know if the other locations have it or not. Any ideas on how to make it?

Would this be it: 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1/8 cup milk Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Makes approx. 2 1/2 cups.
The wife fixes it for fresh fruit and sometimes for our oriental dishes, especially those with high acidity.

Thanks for your reply. I don't think that's the one. What I am looking for is clear with chopped peanuts in it. I've tried to duplicate it with fish sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, etc., but mine was just plain nasty!

Southeast Asian Peanut Dipping Sauce An updated classic from the Joy of Cooking 1996
Ingredients and Directions
Some versions of this simple, spicy sauce is served all over southeast Asia, with the small skewers of meat and chicken known as satays. It is also delicious as a dipping sauce for many other dishes, from spring rolls to grilled meat.
Heat in a small saucepan over medium heat:
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Add and cook, stirring, for 5 seconds:
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 small fresh chili pepper, seeded and minced
Add and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 4 minutes:
1 cup water 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/3 cup chunky peanut butter, preferably unsweetened 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar, or to taste 3 tablespoons chopped unsalted roated peanuts (optional)
Remove from heat and stir in, if desired:
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
Serve warm or at room temperature. This sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week.
Yield: About 1 2/3 cups.

Thanks! Those do have some similarities to what I'm talking about. Time to do a little experimenting and see what happens.
