Butterfly Bites

Ingredients:

2 Stalks Celery
12 Large Three-ring Pretzels
6 TBS Peanut Butter or Cream Cheese
18 Raisins or Currents
12 Slivered Almonds

Directions:
Wash the celery. Using plastic knives, cut the celery into thirds. Fill each celery stalk with one tablespoon of either peanut butter or cream cheese. For the wings, gently push 1 pretzel into the filling, running parallel to the length of the celery stick. Do the same on the celery's other lengthwise side. Arrange the raisins or currents as the eyes, nose and mouth. For antennae, push the slivered almonds into filling. Nutritional info per butterfly: 238 cal; 9g pro, 33g carb, 10g fat.
