# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes less time than waiting for toast, and you can eat it with one hand.
  • The crunch and creaminess hit different when youre actually hungry.
  • You can dress it up or keep it bare, and it works either way.
02 -
  • If your peanut butter is too thick, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before spreading.
  • Pat the celery completely dry or the peanut butter wont stick properly.
  • Cut the pieces uniform in size so they look intentional, not haphazard.
03 -
  • Use a small offset spatula if you have one—it makes filling the groove so much easier.
  • Chill the celery for at least 30 minutes before assembling for maximum crunch.
  • If the peanut butter is too salty, balance it with a drizzle of honey before adding toppings.
