Ingredients

3 Celery stalks, washed and patted dry

6 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter

12 Large twist pretzels (3-ring style)

3 tablespoons Raisins

Directions

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before preparing the snack.

  2. Rinse the celery stalks under cool running water and gently scrub with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. Pat dry with paper towels.

  3. Cut each celery stalk crosswise into 2-inch segments (you should have 9 pieces total from 3 stalks). These segments will form the butterfly bodies.

  4. Spread approximately 2 teaspoons (or 1 tablespoon per 3 segments) of creamy peanut butter down the center groove of each celery piece.

  5. Press two pretzel rings vertically into the peanut butter on each celery segment, one on each side, to represent the butterfly's wings.

  6. Break remaining pretzel pieces into small fragments and arrange them on top of the peanut butter to form antenna. Decorate with raisins placed on the peanut butter body for eyes and embellishment. Serve immediately.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4.5

This is a dead-simple snack that hits Charlotte shelves everywhere—celery, peanut butter, pretzels, and raisins are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, and ALDI. Cost per serving lands around 45 to 55 cents, driven entirely by the peanut butter and bulk pretzels, making it genuinely cheap for six people. The stated ten minutes is honest; it's just assembly and no cooking. It's perfect for kids or a no-fuss snack, though it's not a meal, won't reheat, and demands same-night eating, so it suits an afternoon energy dip more than dinner rotation.
