In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of the peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive, slightly sticky dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the base layer. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter base layer and spread it out with a spatula to create the top layer.
Warm the remaining 0.5 cup of peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until slightly runny. Using a spoon, drizzle the peanut butter over the chocolate layer in a zigzag pattern or swirl it into the chocolate for decoration.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert has firmed up completely.
Cut into 12 squares (or more for smaller servings) and serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
