2 cups powdered sugar, divided use
3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate mini morsels, divided use

Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.

Beat 1 1/4 cups peanut butter and butter in large mixer bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered sugar.

With hands or wooden spoon, work in remaining 1 cup powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 cup morsels. Press evenly into prepared baking pan. Smooth top with spatula.
