- 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions

- In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Notes
- You can use crunchy peanut butter for added texture, but it may change the consistency slightly.
- For a different flavor base, substitute graham cracker crumbs with vanilla wafer cookies or digestive biscuits.
