Instructions

Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the base: In a large bowl, mix melted butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs until fully combined. Press mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Make the topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.

Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
