In large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, shortening and butter. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until creamed, scraping bowl. Add eggs and continue mixing until well combined.

Add in flour, salt and baking powder; continue mixing until well combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; roll in remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each ball by using a fork to make a criss-cross pattern.

Dip one end of cookie into melted chocolate, and then dip into cereal. Place on wax paper covered baking sheet and refrigerate until chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
