# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to find your keys in the morning.
  • The crunch and creaminess hit that perfect salty-sweet spot without any guilt.
  • You can dress it up or keep it simple, and either way it feels like a win.
02 -
  • Dry the celery completely or the peanut butter won't stick, it'll just slide around and frustrate you.
  • If you make these ahead, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four hours. Any longer and the celery starts to get sad and limp.
03 -
  • Chill your celery in ice water for ten minutes before cutting if you want extra-crisp sticks that snap loud enough to startle the dog.
  • Warm your peanut butter in the microwave for ten seconds if it's too thick to spread smoothly, it makes filling so much easier.
