Ingredients

2 cups peanut butter divided
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter softened
2 cups powdered sugar divided
2 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups (12-ounce) package mini chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 1/4 cups peanut butter and the butter until creamy.
Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered sugar.
With hands or wooden spoon, mix in remaining powdered sugar, the graham cracker crumbs, and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.

Melt remaining peanut butter and remaining mini chocolate chips in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over LOW heat, stirring constantly.
Spread over graham cracker layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

I prefer a creamy peanut butter for this recipe, but crunchy can be used if that is what you prefer.
