# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to find your keys, but somehow feels like a real snack.
  • The contrast between crisp celery and rich peanut butter is weirdly satisfying in a way that keeps you coming back.
  • You can dress it up or keep it bare, and either way it works.
02 -
  • If the celery sits too long after filling, it can start to weep and make the peanut butter slide off, so assemble close to serving time.
  • Room temperature peanut butter spreads more smoothly than cold, which saves you from tearing up the celery.
03 -
  • Chill the celery in ice water for ten minutes before prepping if you want maximum crunch.
  • Use a piping bag or a plastic zip bag with the corner snipped off to fill the celery neatly if you're making a big batch.
