🥬 Creamy Stuffed Celery Sticks (The Party Snack You Can’t Stop Eating!)
Crunchy, refreshing celery paired with a rich, creamy filling makes the perfect bite-size party treat. It’s quick, customizable, and always the first thing to disappear from the table.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh celery (cut into 3–4 inch sticks)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2–3 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1–2 tbsp finely chopped chives or green onions
- 1 tbsp finely diced red bell pepper (optional, for color)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: crispy bacon bits, everything bagel seasoning, chopped olives, crushed walnuts
🥣 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the celery:
Wash, trim, and cut into uniform sticks. Pat dry so the filling sticks well.
2️⃣ Make the creamy filling:
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream (or yogurt), cheddar, chives, bell pepper, salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy.
3️⃣ Fill the celery:
Use a spoon or piping bag to generously fill each celery groove.
4️⃣ Chill (optional but recommended):
Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to firm up and enhance flavor.
5️⃣ Slice & serve:
Cut into bite-size pieces if desired and arrange on a platter.
✨ Flavor Variations
- 🥓 Bacon Cheddar: Add crispy bacon bits and extra cheddar.
- 🌿 Herb Garden: Mix in parsley, dill, and a squeeze of lemon.
- 🌶 Spicy Kick: Stir in hot sauce or diced jalapeños.
- 🧄 Garlic Parmesan: Add grated parmesan and a pinch of garlic powder.
💡 Pro Tip
Pipe the filling using a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off — it looks neater and more elegant for parties.
