Celery logs with peanut butter and raisins

Celery logs with peanut butter and raisins, often referred to as 'Ants on a Log,' are a fun and nutritious snack that combines crunchy celery, creamy peanut butter, and sweet raisins. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for kids and adults alike, offering a balance of protein, fiber, and vitamins.

Ingredients:

2 stalks celery
260g
3 tbsp peanut butter
50g
1/4 cup raisins
36g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Celery:
- Rinse the celery stalks under cold running water to remove any dirt.
- Pat dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.
- Place the celery on a cutting board and, using a knife, trim off the leafy ends and the base.
- Cut each celery stalk into 3 to 4-inch long pieces to form "logs." Each stalk should yield about 3-4 pieces, depending on the length of the celery.
2. Add the Peanut Butter:
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the peanut butter.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the groove of each celery log. Ensure the peanut butter is evenly spread along the entire length of the celery piece.
3. Top with Raisins:
- Take a handful of raisins and press them gently into the peanut butter on each celery log.
- Place the raisins evenly spaced along the length of the log, ensuring they stick well to the peanut butter.
4. Serve:
- Arrange the filled celery logs neatly on a plate or serving tray.
- Serve immediately as a healthy snack or appetizer.

Tips:

- Ensure that the celery is well washed and dried before applying the peanut butter to keep it crisp.

- If you have a peanut allergy or preference for another nut/seed butter, try almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or other alternatives.

- Warm the peanut butter slightly before spreading to make it easier to apply evenly on the celery.

- Use organic or natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier option.

- For a different texture and flavor, try using other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates in place of raisins.

- Cut the celery stalks into manageable pieces for easier handling and eating, especially for kids.

Celery logs with peanut butter and raisins make for a delightful and healthful snack that is as easy to prepare as it is to enjoy. Whether for an afternoon pick-me-up or a wholesome addition to a lunchbox, this classic combination is sure to satisfy your cravings and provide essential nutrients.
