“Ants on Logs” is a fun, healthy snack kids can make all on their own. There will be no fighting over who gets the favourite snack as they get to make and eat exactly what they make. This could also be a lesson in sharing if each child makes and shares one piece with the other kids too.
Ingredients:
Ants on Logs #1
Celery sticks – cut in 3 inch pieces
Peanut Butter – 1/2 to 3/4 tsp.
Raisins – as many as will fit slightly spaced
Ants on Logs #2
Red Pepper slices – 2-3 inch slices, 1/2 inch width
Goat Cheese, softened – 1/2 to 3/4 tsp.
Dried Cranberries – as many as will fit slightly spaced
Wash vegetables completely. Cut Celery into 3-inch lengths. Using a butter knife, spread the peanut butter into the hollow of the celery. Top with raisins.
Cut the red pepper into ½ inch wide slices, about 2-3-inches in length. Spread some soft goat cheese on each slice and top with dried cranberries. Enjoy!
