Ants on a log is the classic kid snack that sneaks vegetables, protein, and fruit into one fun package. This version includes creative variations beyond the classic to keep snack time exciting.
Wash and trim celery stalks. Cut each stalk in half crosswise for manageable snack-size pieces.
Fill the groove of each celery piece with peanut butter, smoothing it with a butter knife.
Press raisins into the peanut butter in a line to create the classic "ants" look.
For variations, try chocolate chips as "ants," drizzle honey, or sprinkle sunflower seeds.
Arrange on a plate and serve immediately, or pack in lunchboxes with the celery and toppings separated.
Arrange on a platter for easy sharing at your next gathering
Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor
Both are nut-free alternatives that kids love
Both add sweetness with different flavors
Let kids customize their own logs with a variety of toppings for a fun, interactive snack.
If celery is too stringy for little ones, peel the outer strings with a vegetable peeler.
Store assembled in the fridge up to 1 day. Keep components separate for best texture.
Serve cold—no reheating needed.
