Instructions
- Prepare the Celery: Thoroughly rinse the celery stalks under cold water. Trim the ends and cut each stalk into halves or thirds, depending on the preferred serving size.
- Spread the Peanut Butter: Using a butter knife or small spatula, evenly spread approximately one tablespoon of peanut butter into the groove of each celery piece. Ensure the peanut butter is level to hold the toppings securely.
