# Top Tips:

01 -

Ready in under ten minutes when you need something nutritious without the fuss.
That satisfying contrast between snappy celery and rich, creamy peanut butter keeps you coming back.
Works as an afternoon pick-me-up, kid's lunch addition, or pre-workout bite without feeling like you're settling.

02 -

Celery that's been sitting in the fridge unwrapped gets soft fast, so store it in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel if you're making these ahead.
If you chill the celery pieces in ice water for a few minutes right before filling them, they'll stay impossibly crisp even if you're not serving immediately.

03 -

If your peanut butter is thick and stubborn, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, or warm your spreading knife under hot water before digging in.
Those raisins (or ants, if you're playing along with the name) stick better when the peanut butter is at room temperature rather than cold.
