You’ve heard of Ants on a Log, right? Well, Bugs on a Log 6 Ways is just using different nut butters and dried fruit to create a fun snack. Bugs on a log are one of my favorite snacks. They are a great protein filled snack with just a bit of sweetness. Bugs on a log 6 ways are very simple to make. All you need is celery sticks, a nut butter, and a dried fruit.

I started making Bugs on a Log 6 Ways trying to get the girls to try new veggies. I’ve always enjoyed the crunchy celery with peanut butter combo. But I thought adding a wee bit of dried fruit might help encourage them to eat the celery.
