Yummy and different! DH and I enjoyed these, we were even dipping celery stalks and crackers in some leftover filling. The kids, however, wouldn't touch them..I think it's a cream cheese thing. Not overly sweet and a snack you can feel good feeding the family. I used dried cranberries and think adding some extras on top as ants on a log would be a nice touch. Dried pineapple or other dried tropical fruit would be good, too. Noticed hot sauce in the directions...? Thanks, Mercy, for sharing!

OMG!!! When I was a wee-one, Mom used to serve celery stuffed with peanut butter or cream cheese...this is the best of both worlds (and then some)!! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, and wouldn't change a thing! BTW, I used dried cranberries for the dried fruit. YUMMY! Thanks for posting! ~Manda
