In the same food processor (no need to wash it), pulse the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla until it is well combined.
Add the oats back to the food processor and pulse until a ball of dough forms – if a dough doesn’t form after 10 pulses, add 1 tablespoon of water and pulse again. Repeat until you get the desired consistency.
Transfer the dough to a bowl and fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.
Scoop the dough into 1” to 1½" portions. Leave them as-is or roll them in your hands to create smooth balls.
