- Scoop mixture into tablespoon balls and rolls using the palm of your hands.
- Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
- Place in freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate chips in a small bowl.
- Remove peanut butter balls from the freezer and place a toothpick in the top of them.
