A classic and nutritious snack, this Ants On A Log Recipe features crisp celery stalks generously filled with creamy peanut butter and topped with sweet raisins. It’s quick, wholesome, and ideal for children and adults alike.
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.
Arrange the Raisins: Place raisins on top of the peanut butter, spacing them evenly along the length of each celery stick. Gently press each raisin into the peanut butter to secure them in place.
Serve Immediately: Arrange the finished celery sticks on a serving plate. Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
