Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each celery stalk into 3-inch pieces for easy handling and snacking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, chopped chives, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.
If desired, fold in the crushed walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag with a round tip, fill the hollow side of each celery piece with the cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
Arrange the filled celery sticks on a serving platter.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the filled celery for extra color and flavor.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if you prefer them cool. Enjoy!
