Ants on a Log
We swapped out raisins for prunes in our tasty version of “Ants on a Log”. It’s a creative and nutritious snack that your kids will love.
How to make this Ants on a Log snack
Even the youngest kiddos can help assemble this kid-friendly snack. Slice a celery stalk in half, then spread a thick layer of peanut butter on each “log”. Then, let the kids place diced prunes on top of the layer of peanut butter. It’s an easy snack that the whole family can enjoy!
Why we added prunes to this healthy snack
Prunes are a great addition to the traditional Ants on a Log recipe. Prunes add natural sweetness and promote bone health, gut health and more. The health benefits of prunes are matched only by their great taste!
