Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.Meanwhile, in bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate with shortening, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly. Using 2 forks, dip each ball into chocolate mixture to coat, letting excess drip off; return to paper-lines sheet. Top each with peanut half. Refrigerate until hardened. (Make ahead: Refrigerate in layers separated by waxed paper in air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.)
