  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Base
    Mix melted butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  • Press into a Pan
    Spread the mixture evenly into a greased or lined baking dish. Press firmly to create a solid base.
