• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter over the prepared graham cracker crust in the baking pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Once cooled, cut into desired-sized bars and serve. Enjoy!
