Peanut Butter Balls

These are great treats to keep on hand, especially to pack into school lunch boxes.  I make 1-2x this recipe, scoop them into balls, and freeze them.  Once frozen, I divide them and keep a dozen or two in the fridge and store the rest in the freezer.  Especially when I make a bigger batch, I use my stand mixer to get them mixed well.

*1/2 c. natural peanut butter (sometimes takes 1-2TBSP more to mix well)
*1/3 c. honey
*1 tsp. vanilla
*2 c. old fashioned oats
*1/4 c. mini chocolate chips

Mix peanut butter and honey, add vanilla and stir in oats and chocolate chips.  Mix until well combined.  Use a cookie scoop to portion into balls and freeze at least 30 minutes to set.  Keep in fridge.
