Snowballs

Jeff and I teach a 5th grade Sunday School class and this is the most requested treat.  The first question they ask is "how many can we have?"  They go fast!

1 c. butter or margarine, softened a little
1/2 c. chunky peanut butter
3/4 c. powdered sugar
1 c. coconut (optional)
1 c. mini chocolate chips
2 c. oatmeal
1/2 t. vanilla

Mix together and refrigerate until hard enough to roll (approximately 1 hour).  Roll into balls.  Roll in powdered sugar if desired.  Keep refrigerated.
