Reese's Peanut Butter Bars (No Bake)

I got this recipe over at Our Best Bites. They have some really awesome yummy recipes! 

Ingredients: 

-1 1/2 C graham cracker crumbs
-1 lb (3 1/2 C) powdered sugar
-1 1/2 C creamy peanut butter
-1 C (2 sticks) real butter, melted
-1 12oz bag chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet or dark)
-2 tsp shortening

1) In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter and beat until combined.  Press into a parchment (or waxed paper or foil) lined 9×13 pan.

2) 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.  Tip:  If the bars chill until the chocolate is too hard to easily cut, use a sharp knife and score the cuts first, then gently cut through.  Can be stored in the fridge or at room temp.  They will stay firmer if stored in the fridge.

Yumm :D
