Okay, I made these for a tea party that we held at our school for the graduating senior girls and their moms. They were a great success and were extremely easy and different.

These flavorful celery sticks are great for many occasions, such as bridal or baby showers, brunch, game nights, or just for a snack. Cream cheese is mixed with walnuts, Craisins, green onions, garlic powder, and a touch of heavy cream. Once the crispy bacon bits are folded into the filling, it is stuffed into a celery stick. They're crunchy, sweet, smoky, tangy, and easy to make.

    Clean celery and cut into desired portion size. To stuff celery, carefully spread the cream cheese mixture into each portion of celery. I personally use a piping bag with a LARGE tip. You can do the same with a Ziploc bag with a large hole cut in a corner.
