1. Line a 9" × 9" baking dish with parchment paper or waxed paper.
2. Make the crust: in a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup coconut oil. Press into prepared dish.
3. Make the filling: in the same bowl, combine 1 cup peanut butter, powdered sugar, 1/4 cup coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons butter, stirring until smooth. Spoon onto crust, patting evenly to distribute. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
4. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate chips with remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter, stirring constantly.
5. Pour over filling layer and refrigerate until set enough to cut into bars, about 4 hours.
