A Christmas Break Snack

The kids are out of school and you need to find a few extra snacks.  While searching the web for something else (what, I can't remember), I found a cute new take on the ants on a log recipe.  I thought this was the perfect Christmas break snack.  It's quick, easy and nutritious. With a little extra help, kids can make this snack.  To go along with this snack, how about a cup of hot chocolate. 



Pears in a Pod



Ingredients:

4 stalks of celery

½ cup peanut butter

2 pears, cored and cut into cubes

Directions:

1.  Spread the peanut butter into the center of the celery stalk. 

2.  Place pears on top of peanut butter.  Cut celery into desired length and serve.
