In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly mixed.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan until just liquid. Allow it to cool for one minute.
Add the melted butter and creamy peanut butter to the dry mixture. Stir until the mixture binds together and forms a dough-like consistency.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log shape approximately 3-4 inches long. Place each log onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Drizzle or dip the logs in the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated or partially coated, depending on your preference.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top if using.
Place the logs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
