Reese's Peanut Butter Bars (no bake)

We had to make up dessert to go with our meal at Hackensack - so since I don't really like to bake, I thought I would make up these bars instead.  SUPER easy - and SUPER yummy!  I just wish they were SUPER healthy...hehe

Ingredients
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1lb (3 1/2 cups) powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup (2 sticks) real butter, melted
12 oz bag chocolate chips
2 teaspoon shortening

In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter and butter and beat until combined.  Press into a parchment (or wax paper) lined 9x13 pan.

Place chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.  Pour chocolate over peanut butter mixture and spread out evenly.  Place pan in the fridge just until chocolate is set and then cut into bars.  Can be stored in the fridge or at room temp - they will stay firmer if stored in the fridge.
