Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed (about 1/3 of a box)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips

Directions:

Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. One third of a box is usually one cellphane wrapped package. Mix in the cinnamon and set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well. Add the powdered sugar and graham crackers, stir until well combined (it should be a stiff dough, you may want to use a hand mixer).
Pat the mixture into an ungreased 9x13 pan.
Melt the chocolate over low heat in a heavy saucepan, or spread evenly in a glass pie plate and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each 30 seconds, until melted.
Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer.
Refrigerate for one hour, bring to room temperature, and cut into bars.
