Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Trim both ends of each celery stalk and cut each stalk into approximately 3-inch pieces to create bite-sized sections.
In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked Gouda cheese (grated), softened cream cheese, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully blended into a creamy filling.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully stuff the grooves of each celery piece with the cheese mixture, ensuring it is packed neatly and evenly.
Arrange the stuffed celery pieces on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
