Difficulty Level: Low

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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
Arrange your assortment of Ants on the Log on a large plate, and serve fresh.
