In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, rolled oats, chia seeds, honey, vanilla essence, and salt.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Add water slowly if the mixture is too thick to stir.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini candies gently.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls.
Place the protein balls on a baking tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
