Line a rimmed baking sheet with waxed paper. Pulse 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 crackers) and 1 cup powdered sugar in a food processor until mixture is finely ground. Add 1 cup peanut butter and pulse several times to form a dry dough. Roll the dough into approximately 24 1" balls; place on prepared sheet and freeze until firm, 30-45 minutes. Place 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second bursts until melted, stirring until smooth. Dip peanut butter balls almost completely into melted chocolate so that a small circle of visible peanut butter resembles an eye. Remove buckeyes from chocolate with a fork, tapping tines lightly against inner edge of bowl to shake excess chocolate from balls; return buckeyes to same sheet. Freeze until set, 10-15 minutes, then transfer to refrigerator to store.
