Description

This Nut-Free Holiday Snack: Celery Reindeer is a festive, healthy, and easy-to-make treat perfect for school parties or holiday gatherings. Using celery sticks as the base, decorated with sunflower seed butter, fresh raspberries, chocolate chips, and pretzel pieces, these adorable reindeer snacks are both visually appealing and delicious. Ideal for those with nut allergies, this recipe offers a fun and safe alternative without compromising taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp sunflower seed butter or nut butter (almond, peanut, etc.)
  • 8 celery sticks
  • ⅓ cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 Tbsp chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup pretzels, broken into pieces for antlers

Instructions

  1. Spread Nut Butter: Evenly spread ½ tablespoon of sunflower seed or nut butter onto each celery stick, covering the top side to create a sticky base for the decorations.
  2. Add the Nose: Place a fresh raspberry at one end of each celery stick to represent the reindeer’s nose, pressing gently to secure it onto the nut butter.
  3. Attach the Eyes: Position two chocolate chips above the raspberry on each celery stick to form the eyes, pressing slightly so they stick.
  4. Add the Antlers: Break pretzels into smaller pieces that resemble antlers and arrange two pieces on the wider end of each celery stick, pressing them into the nut butter to hold them in place.
  5. Serve Immediately: Arrange the finished celery reindeer on a platter and serve right away to enjoy their fresh, crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Use sunflower seed butter or soy butter to keep this snack nut-free and school-approved for children with nut allergies.
  • Feel free to substitute with peanut butter or almond butter if nut allergies are not a concern for an equally tasty version.
  • This recipe is perfect for holiday parties, kids’ snacks, or as a fun, healthy treat anytime.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as celery can become soggy if left too long with nut butter.
