# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes, making it perfect for those moments when hunger strikes and patience is thin.
  • The contrast between the crunch of celery and the smooth richness of peanut butter is genuinely satisfying in a way that feels almost indulgent for something so wholesome.
02 -
  • If your peanut butter is too cold from the refrigerator, it becomes stubborn and tears the celery—leave it out for a few minutes to soften, or warm it ever so slightly.
  • Wet celery is the enemy of texture; I learned this the hard way when I served soggy sticks that felt sad instead of crisp and alive.
03 -
  • Buy celery with the leaves still attached when possible—those pale inner stalks are the crispest and most tender, perfect for this snack.
  • If your peanut butter is too firm, warm the spreading knife under hot water for a few seconds before filling; it makes the job effortless.
