Since November is "Good Nutrition Month" I thought how appropriate that our very first blog be food related.
Ants on a Log are really easy - just spread celery sticks with peanut butter and top with raisins in a row (the 'ants', get it?). There are also some fun variations of this classic recipe.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3" celery sticks
- peanut butter
- raisins
- peanuts
- granola
- dried cherries
Preparation:
Spread the peanut butter inside the hollow of the celery sticks and top with raisins. For variety or food allergy, try using fruit flavored whipped cream cheese or a combination of peanut butter and honey instead of the plain peanut butter. Top the stuffed celery with peanuts, dried fruit pieces, granola, or different types of nuts. Think about ways that the kiddos can help i.e. wash the celery, spread the peanut butter, apply the raisins, etc.
Activity extension: Pair this cute and yummy snack with a classic children's book, "There's an Ant in Anthony"
