Ants on a Log
Ingredients for Ants on a Log:
Celery sticks - 9 (cut in half)
Peanut Butter - 3/4 cup (divided)
Cream cheese - 2 tbsp.
Animal Crackers - 1/4 cup (or goldfish)
Granola - 1/4 cup
Raisins - 1/4 cup
Blueberries - 1/4 cup
Chocolate chips - 1/4 cup
Method of preparing the Ants on a Log:
  1. Spread peanut butter inside 12 celery sticks. Then mix the remaining peanut butter with the cream cheese, and spread this mixture inside the remaining 6 celery sticks.
  2. Take 6 of the peanut butter and celery sticks and place 1 or 2 animal crackers on each celery stick. Fill the remaining space on the celery stick with raisins. If you don't like raisins, you can use goldfish crackers.
  3. Take the remaining 6 peanut butter and celery sticks (without the cream cheese), and simply press chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter. Tip: this sweet version also works great with halved bananas instead of celery.
  4. Lastly, take the 6 peanut butter sticks with the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture, and place 5-6 blueberries on each celery stick. Nestle granola bits between the blueberries.
  5. Arrange your assortment of Ants on the Log on a large plate, and serve fresh.
