In 1 quart saucepan, combine chocolate chips and shortening. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth (3 to 5 minutes). Loosen top paper cup from stack, but leave in stack for greater stability while being coated. With small paint brush coat inside top cup evenly with about 1 Tbsp. melted chocolate to about 1/8-inch thickness, bringing coating almost to the top of cup, but not over edge. Repeat until 30 cups are coated; refrigerate cups. In 2 quart saucepan, combine butter or margarine and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (4 to 6 minutes). Stir in confectioners sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Press about 1 1/2 tablespoons filling into each chocolate cup. Spoon about 1/2 tsp. melted chocolate on top of filling; spread to cover. Freeze until firm (about 2 hours). Carefully peel off paper cups. Store refrigerated.
