In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well incorporated.
Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal gently until evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, then return to the parchment-lined sheet.
Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
