Line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a thick, dough-like consistency.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, ensuring a smooth and even layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly to cover the entire surface.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set and the bars are firm.
Once set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper or by loosening the edges with a knife.
Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
