Cream Cheese Stuffed Celery Bites are quick, easy, and healthy snacks combining crisp celery with creamy, flavorful filling. Perfect for parties, kids’ lunches, or light appetizers, these bite-sized treats are versatile and customizable with herbs, spices, and toppings.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Celery stalks (fresh, crisp)
  • Cream cheese (softened)
  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Optional Ingredients

  • Dill or chives (fresh or dried, optional)
  • Bacon bits or chopped nuts (optional toppings)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Celery: Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and trim each stalk into 3-4 inch pieces. Pat them dry to ensure the cream cheese sticks well and the celery retains its crispness.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional herbs like dill or chives. Mix until smooth and evenly blended for a flavorful filling.
  3. Stuff the Celery: Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill the hollow part of each celery piece generously with the cream cheese mixture for a perfect creamy bite.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chosen toppings such as bacon bits, chopped nuts, or fresh herbs on top to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the stuffed celery bites on a platter and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help flavors meld and keep the filling firm before serving.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for smooth spreading and mixing.
  • Choose fresh, crisp celery for the best crunchy texture that holds filling well.
  • Trim celery ends evenly for a neat, uniform presentation.
  • Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate to save prep time before serving.
  • Cut celery into bite-size portions for easy handling and serving at parties.
