03 - 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts

# How To Make It:
01 - In a large bowl, mix together crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, and chopped nuts until evenly combined.
02 - Add peanut butter, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture; stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
03 - Shape the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and arrange them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
04 - Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm the balls.
05 - While chilling, melt white chocolate chips or candy melts according to package instructions in a microwave-safe bowl.
06 - Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess coating drip off; return to the tray and immediately decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter.
07 - Before the chocolate sets, gently press a mini pretzel stick or a piece of licorice into each ball to form an ornament hook.
08 - Refrigerate the decorated balls for about 10 minutes until the coating hardens; then serve or package for gifting.
