They (celery, pb and raisins) were a staple snack as kids and I still love to eat them. Any time I mention it to people they give me a grossed out look without even bothering to try them. :tongue:

So who is with me, who loves the good ol ants on a log! :drinker:

    I LOVE them. Great for a protein boost or if you want something sweet. Have you been naughty and put chocolate chips on instead of raisins???

    One of my favorite childhood snacks! My grandmother used to make them for us all of the time. (Coincidentally, she is also the person who introduced me to cooking and eating healthy :P). I still eat them too--the perfect combination of fresh, crunchy, sweet and nutty!

    I use to love them. I haven't had them in years. I know what I will be snacking on tomorrow.

    Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of celery. I've never liked the stringiness of it. When I was a kid I'd end up licking the peanut butter and raisins off the celery. Might have to try it with either carrots or bananas instead to see if I like them that way.

    LOVE ants on a log, not a big fan of celery though... but I can endure it as a venue for PB and raisins :) \

    Also good on celery- low fat, plain cream cheese and dried cranberries! So yummy and addicting!
