Wash and dry the celery stalks thoroughly. Trim the ends, and cut each stalk into 3-inch pieces.
Using a butter knife or small spatula, fill half of the celery pieces with cream cheese and the other half with peanut butter. Spread evenly to fill the groove in the center of each piece.
Top the cream cheese-filled celery with raisins, dried cranberries, or mini chocolate chips, alternating to create variety.
Sprinkle the peanut butter-filled celery pieces with chopped walnuts, raisins, or a combination of both.
Arrange the celery boats neatly on a serving platter. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
