Instructions

1

Prep the Celery

Wash and dry the celery stalks thoroughly. Cut each stalk into three equal pieces about three inches long to make them easy for small hands to hold.

2

Fill with Peanut Butter

Spoon one tablespoon of creamy peanut butter into the curved groove of each full celery stalk, spreading it evenly from end to end.

3

Add the Ants

Press raisins one by one into the peanut butter in a straight line down the center of each stalk so they look like ants marching along a log.
