In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar.
Add the melted butter and 3/4 cup of creamy peanut butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the dish to form the base layer. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth (about 2 intervals).
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour, or until the layers are firm and set.
Once set, remove the parchment paper from the dish and slice into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
