Steps:

• 1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy corn in microwave on high in 30-second intervals. Stir every 30 seconds until JUST melted and smooth. Make sure not to overheat and stir well after each interval.
• 2. Stir in 1 jar of crunchy peanut butter to melted candy corn until well blended.
• 3. Press mixture into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 13 pan. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
• 4. Melt chocolate chips with 1 TBSP shortening in a double boiler or microwave. (I prefer the double boiler.)
• 5. Pour melted chocolate over candy. Allow chocolate to set before cutting. I usually place it in the refrigerator until the mixture is thoroughly cooled.
