Directions:

1. Mix peanut butter and honey together using an electric mixer until thick (approx 1 minute).

2. Roll into balls and freeze for at least 45 minutes.

3. Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil and heat in microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Heat in microwave for another minute (or until melted).
