Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30–45 seconds on high power).
Stir in the creamy peanut butter (1 cup) until smooth and fully combined.
Add the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until the texture resembles a thick, cohesive dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a smooth, packed base layer. Set aside.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and glossy. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes.
Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the prepared base layer. Spread evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm and set.
Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slab out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 16 squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
