Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar (or a pinch of cinnamon and a teaspoon of sugar)
2 large avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
4 to 6 stalks celery (be sure to pick ones that can hold filling), cut into thirds, leaves set aside
4 ounces raspberries (ladybugs)
10 to 20 raisins (ants)
10 to 20 dried cherries (red ants)
10 to 20 pretzels or thin pretzel sticks (worms or stick bugs)

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. With their rich chocolate flavor and crunchy peanut butter filling, they're a classic treat that everyone will love.
