🥡 STORAGE

• Store assembled ants on a log in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• For the best texture, store the cut celery, spread, and toppings separately and assemble just before serving.
• Celery can release moisture as it sits, so freshly made is best.

♨️ REHEATING

• No reheating is needed for this recipe.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature.

❄️ FREEZING

• Freezing is not recommended. The celery will lose its crisp texture once thawed.
