I don't know who invented it but it is REALLY good. There is a health food
snack aimed at kids called "ants on a log". You take large ribs of celery,
cut them in about 3" lengths, fill them with peanut butter then top with a
line of raisins. For me the raisins just ruined them. I would eat mine
without. To make them portable you just put two of them together with the
celery on the outside. And hopefully they won't shift and make a mess all
over your lunch bag. Can use a soft cheese instead of the peanut butter.

The little snack packs come with the skinny sticks of celery and a tub of
peanut butter to dip them in. I used to buy these all the time at the
military commissary for snacks. The carrots come with ranch dip in a tub.
The apples with soft caramel dip in a tub. And there are small pieces of
pita bread with hummus in a tub.
