- Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps.
- Add the chopped dried cranberries, toasted pecans, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture. The filling should be thick, creamy, and speckled with fruit and nuts.
- Prepare the Celery: Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim off the ends, then cut each stalk into evenly sized pieces if desired for easier serving.
Filling, Garnishing & Serving
- Fill the Celery: Using a spoon or small spatula, generously fill each celery stalk with the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly from end to end.
- Garnish: If desired, sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of green color and a fresh finish.
- Serve: Arrange the stuffed celery on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
