No Bake Peanut Butter Cups

This is a favorite of my family and my piano students!

1/2 pound graham crackers (about a pkg and 1/2)
1/2 pound butter (2 sticks)
1 cup peanut butter
3 1/2 cup powder sugar
2 cups chocolate chips

Mix peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and crackers until smooth and creamy. Spread in pan. On very low heat melt chips (I put these in a glass bowl and microwave 1 minute on high) and spread on top of peanut butter mixture. Cut into pieces before the chocolate sets completely.
