Can you freeze Peanut Butter Balls?
Yes, you can freeze peanut butter but make sure it is a little hard. Take a tray and put the parchment paper on which you can place the balls. They should be properly covered and you can store them for a month. When you want to eat it, just take some balls out and heat it in the microwave. You can cool it again if you like to eat like that.

When do you use the T. Oil?
I believe the oil might be for mixing in with the chocolate chips. It gives the chocolate & nice shine. I use coconut oil instead of vegetable.
