Ants on a Log

I have used these for just about every party theme and this healthy snack is good one for Halloween class parties. Remember, I don't like to sugar the kids up too high! You will need:

• celery (one bunch for whole class is plenty)
• cream cheese (I use the garden vegetable flavor for added speckles of "stuff")
• raisins

1. Wash and cut celery into serving pieces.
2. Spoon in cream cheese to "stuff" the celery.
3. Place 2 or 3 raisins on top.

I like simple and quick!


Lots of kids don't like celery but when it's disguised with a title like "ants on a log" they just might try it and enjoy it. Same with the raisins, but most kids pick them off at classroom parties. You could use this as an edible craft, but it may not get eaten at all because the mystery has disappeared. When you use these for block parties or potlucks, most adults appreciate the healthy treat. Although they too may pick off the "ants"!
