In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream and peanut butter. Mix until well incorporated and smooth.
Spread the peanut butter ice cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen peanut butter ice cream layer. Return to the freezer for another 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set.
Once fully frozen, cut into squares and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
