Get ready to elevate snack time with these fun and customizable Rockin Celery Boats! This quick, no-cook recipe transforms crisp celery stalks into irresistible finger foods by filling them with creamy bases like peanut butter or cream cheeseβenhanced with optional honey for a touch of sweetness. Topped with your choice of raisins, mini chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, or a delightful mix, these vibrant bites are perfect for both kids and adults. Ready in just 15 minutes, this nutritious snack is packed with flavor, texture, and versatility, making it an excellent choice for a midday pick-me-up, a playful party appetizer, or a stress-free treat.
Wash and thoroughly dry the celery stalks. Trim the ends and cut each stalk into halves or thirds, about 3-4 inches long.
Decide on the filling for your celery boats: cream cheese, peanut butter, or a mix of both. For a sweet touch, stir a tablespoon of honey into the cream cheese before using.
Using a butter knife or small spoon, carefully spread the desired filling into the center groove of each celery piece, creating a level surface.
Top the filled celery pieces with your choice of toppings. For a classic combination, use raisins (like 'ants on a log'). For a fun variation, try mini chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, or a mix of both.
Arrange the finished celery boats on a serving platter and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
Enjoy your Rockin Celery Boats as a healthy snack or appetizer!
