Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.
Using either a stand mixer or a handheld mixer, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, and graham crackers.
Mix in the 1¼ cups of creamy peanut butter, just until well incorporated.
Evenly spread the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.
In a heat-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the remaining 3 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter. Heat for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the peanut butter and chocolate are smooth.
Spread the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base.
Cut the servings before you put the bars into the refrigerator. (The bars cut much easier this way).
Chill the bars for 1 hour.
Let the bars sit 10 to 15 minutes, at room temperature, before serving.

You can either buy graham cracker crumbs or buy the crackers and crush them yourself in a food processor or with a rolling pin.
It’s easier to slice the mixture into bars if you do it before you put it in the fridge.
