# Expert Tips:

01 -

It comes together in under 10 minutes with zero cooking required.
The contrast of creamy peanut butter against snappy celery is genuinely satisfying.
You can customize the toppings endlessly to match whoever's eating.

02 -

Celery loses its crunch quickly once it's cut, so prep these as close to serving time as possible—they're best enjoyed within a few minutes.
If you must prepare ahead, wrap the filled stalks in damp paper towels and refrigerate; the cold actually intensifies the crispness and keeps the peanut butter firm.

03 -

Warm the peanut butter slightly by letting the jar sit in warm water for a minute or two if it's too thick to spread smoothly.
The celery's natural curve is perfect for holding toppings; work with that shape rather than fighting it.
