Chipotle Cheddar Cheese Stuffed Celery, a pimento cheese seasoned with chipotle peppers stuffed in cut celery sticks.
This stuffed celery is not your classic retro pimento cheese stuffed celery. It is an easy spicy stuffed celery that is simple, and very tasty.
It looks great on your salad plate or on an appetizer tray, which is how I served them at a reception along with White Cheddar Cheese Stuffed Celery and Ham Rolls.

This Chipotle Cheddar Cheese {Pimento} Spread also makes a great spread for finger sandwiches or on Hawaiian rolls.
When making this cheese spread, I always shred the cheese myself to get that creamy cheese texture not typical in packaged shredded cheese.
