Instructions

Spray 8x8 square baking dish with non-stick spray. Mix together graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, powdered sugar, butter, salt and peanut butter in mixing bowl until combined. Press into prepared pan.
Microwave chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a small glass bowl for 30 seconds, stir. If not fully melted, cook another 15-20 seconds. Microwaves vary greatly, so cook cautiously and don't scorch your topping!
Stir until smooth, then pour over the peanut butter bars.
Top with chopped peanuts and sprinkles.
Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
When ready to cut, sit the pan out 5-10 minutes at room temperature. This will make them easier to cut into squares.
Serve immediately or store refrigerated in covered container.
