Ingredients

10 whole graham crackers, broken into quarters, divided
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 14 squares)

Top with the remaining graham crackers; spread with remaining sugar mixture.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and peanut butter, uncovered, on high for 30-45 seconds or until chips are melted. Stir until smooth and blended. Spread evenly over bars. Cover and refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours before cutting. Yield: 20 bars.

I took these to a covered dish picnic and got asked for the recipe. I thought they were good, the consistency of the sugar mixture is a little strange at first. The bars cut very nicely and I was even able to cut each in half, to get 40.
