Steps:
- For the filling: Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey, cinnamon sugar and avocado to a food processor and blend on high until smooth and aerated. Scoop into a piping bag or sealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- For the logs and insects: Choose a tip for piping or cut a hole in the corner of the plastic bag. Place the celery leaves in the recess of the celery stalks and pipe the filling over them, leaving a bit of the leaves sticking up on the sides of each. Top with one of each "insect"--a raspberry, raisin, dried cherry and pretzel--along the length or make logs to your liking.

Tips:
- To make sure your cocoa-peanut logs are perfectly coated in chocolate, use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing or burning.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- If you want a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- To make the cocoa-peanut logs even more decadent, roll them in chopped nuts or sprinkles before coating them in chocolate.
- The cocoa-peanut logs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to serve them, let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Cocoa-peanut logs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a sweet snack to enjoy with your family or a festive dessert to serve at a party, these cocoa-peanut logs are sure to be a hit.
