Ingredients

6 celery stalks, cut into 3 pieces each
1 (8 ounce) cream cheese
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons honey
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup walnuts, chopped
2 green onions, diced
6 pieces bacon

Instructions

Cook and crumble bacon. Drain any excess grease.
Rinse and dry the celery stalks. Cut into 3 pieces per stalk.
Chop green onions, dried cranberries, and walnuts into small pieces.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a mixer until creamy. Beat in the honey, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
Stir in the chopped bacon, green onions, cranberries, and walnuts.
Spread mixture in each celery stalk. Eat immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Soften the cream cheese. Softening the cream cheese will help make the mixture creamy and easy to spread.
Use fresh celery. Make sure the celery is fresh and crispy. Don't forget to clean and dry with a paper towel.
Chop small. Be sure to chop the walnuts, cranberries, bacon, and green onions small so that it's easy to spread and eat.
Toast walnuts. Add more depth of flavor by lightly toasting the walnuts.
