Equipment

Medium Mixing Bowl
9x13-inch Baking Pan

Ingredients

1 cup butter melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (use the boxed kind, or grind them in a food processor. Tiny granules.)
2 cups powdered sugar
1¼ cups peanut butter divided
1½ cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended.
Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9 × 13 inch pan. (I did mine in a 9 X 9 inch square pan because I wanted them to be thicker)
In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring every 30 seconds until melted until smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

Notes

Use a 9 X 9 inch square pan if you want them to be thicker.
You can substitute any sweet cookie or cracker if you don't have graham cracker on hand.
