STEP 3 — Fill the Celery Sticks

1. Use a small spoon, spatula, or piping bag to fill each celery groove.
2. Press the filling firmly so it makes clean, smooth lines along the stalk.
3. Wipe the sides of the celery pieces for a neat look.

💡 Tip: For parties, use a piping bag with a star tip—beautiful and effortless!

STEP 4 — Chill Before Serving

1. Arrange the filled celery on a tray or plate.
2. Cover with plastic wrap.
3. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so the flavors blend and the filling firms up.
