Combine: In a large bowl, stir to combine peanut butter, honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Once combined, add oats, ground flax, chia seeds, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries and chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
Chill: Let sit in fridge for about 30 minutes (this makes it easier to roll into balls).
Roll: Remove from fridge and roll into about 1" balls. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. (If they'll even last that long, ours always disappear in a day or two...) Enjoy!
