Preparation

Step 1

Preheat
oven to 350 degrees.  Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper,
leaving a slight overhang for easy removal and spray with cooking
spray; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together
the butter and brown sugar, using a hand mixer, until smooth and
creamy.  Add the vanilla and egg and mix until combined.  Add the flour,
graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt and mix until fully
combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips.  Press graham cracker dough
evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.  Bake for 5 minutes.

.   Cut into 9-12 squares.  DO NOT cut the bars while they are still warm or the gooey filling will run all over the place.
