Peanut Butter Balls

1. **Mix Ingredients:** In a bowl, combine peanut butter, oats, honey (or maple syrup), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined. If you’re adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in now.

2. **Chill:** Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to shape.

3. **Shape Balls:** Once chilled, use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).

4. **Optional Coating:** If you like, you can roll the balls in extra powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for an added touch.

5. **Store:** Place the balls in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

Enjoy your tasty peanut butter balls as a snack or a quick dessert!
