# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, and chopped nuts until evenly mixed.
02 - Incorporate peanut butter, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
03 - Shape the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
04 - Refrigerate the shaped balls for 15 minutes to allow firming.
05 - While chilling, melt white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl following package directions.
06 - Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined tray.
07 - Immediately adorn each coated ball with holiday sprinkles or edible glitter for festive appearance.
08 - Before the coating sets, gently insert a mini pretzel stick or a small licorice piece into each ball to create an ornament hook.
09 - Refrigerate balls for approximately 10 minutes until the coating is fully set. Serve or package as desired.
