Ingredients

18-20 whole graham cracker sheets
2 cups creamy peanut butter
8 tablespoons softened butter softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
½ teaspoons salt
3½ cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons shortening
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Spray a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick spray.
Place 2 whole graham cracker sheets in a ziploc bag and crush into crumbs with a meat mallet or the bottom of a glass. Set aside.
Mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt. Slowly add in powdered sugar a little at a time. The mixture will become very thick as you add the powdered sugar, you may need to use your hands to mix thoroughly.
In a microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips with shortening. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between, until smooth. Be careful not to overcook.
In the prepared baking dish, place the first layer of graham crackers in the bottom. This will take 6 whole graham cracker sheets plus additional sheets broken in ½ or ¼ to fill the bottom on the dish.
Pour about ⅓ of the melted chocolate into a thin layer over the graham crackers.
Flatten the peanut butter mixture into an even layer by using your hands or placing it between 2 pieces of parchment paper and using a rolling pen. Gently place the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate layer. You may need to do this in sections. Cover the chocolate layer as best you can without breaking the bottom layer of graham crackers. You will use all of the peanut butter mixture.
Pour another ⅓ of the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture and then another layer of graham crackers (same as the bottom layer). Then pour the remaining chocolate on top.
Sprinkle the crushed graham cracker crumbs on top of the chocolate.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares, big or small, and serve.
