Welcome to the enchanted world of Bug Zoo Inc., where culinary adventures buzz with laughter! Today, we’re setting off on a delightful journey through the garden to find our starlit insect friend: the sweet, honey-loving ant! With a sprinkle of fun and a dollop of love, we’re going to create a scrumptious variation of the classic “Ants on a Log,” but with a super sweet twist—honey! Don’t worry, this is a recipe for giggles, and no real bugs are involved! 
🐞 Ingredients
- 2 crunchy celery stalks (the log)
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut butter you adore)
- 1 tablespoon honey (the golden nectar!)
- ¼ cup mixed berries (like blueberries and strawberries, for our sweet ants)
- A sprinkle of magic (that’s one pinch of laughter and fun, of course!)
Ingredient Swaps & Substitutions
- Nut Allergies? Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or cream cheese for a nut-free delight.
- Going Vegan? Use maple syrup instead of honey for a plant-friendly sweetness!
- Feeling Fruity? Change up the berries with slices of banana, apples, or even zesty citrus for a new flavor experience.
Fun Bug Fact!
Did you know that ants can lift 20 times their body weight? That’s like an ant lifting a small puppy! Talk about strength in numbers. Have you tried lifting your backpack full of school supplies? 🐜📚
Safety Tip
Here’s a friendly reminder: when it’s time to slice the celery, call in your grown-up kitchen sidekick! Safety comes first, so let them help!
🐛 Instructions
- Begin by transforming those celery stalks into logs! Cut them into 6-inch pieces (that’s a perfect log size) and wash them clean–make sure they sparkle like a beetle in the sun!
- Grab your tasty peanut butter and mix in the honey. You’re creating a heavenly spread fit for our ant friends. It should look creamy and sweet!
- Now, scoop that nutty goodness onto the hollow side of each celery log. Spread it evenly, just like the ants are spreading their tiny legs on a tasty trail.
- Time for the beautiful berries! Place them on top of your deliciously spread logs. Each berry will be an ant on a sweet adventure.
- Add a sprinkle of magical laughter to each log, because what’s a treat without joy?
- Serve them immediately, and watch those smiles bloom like flowers in spring!
