In a large bowl, stir together peanut butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until a soft, dough-like texture forms.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.

5. Dip & Coat
Use a fork or toothpick to dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return to the baking sheet.

6. Chill Again
Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until chocolate sets.

7. Serve
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
