How to make this Ants on a Log snack

Even the youngest kiddos can help assemble this kid-friendly snack. Slice a celery stalk in half, then spread a thick layer of peanut butter on each “log”. Then, let the kids place diced prunes on top of the layer of peanut butter. It’s an easy snack that the whole family can enjoy!

Why we added prunes to this healthy snack

Prunes are a great addition to the traditional Ants on a Log recipe. Prunes add natural sweetness and promote bone health, gut health and more. The health benefits of prunes are matched only by their great taste!
