Ants on a log can also be made substituting cream cheese for peanut butter. Very tasty. Most people keep the raisins, but a very few will use peanuts instead with cream cheese. (You can use peanuts w/ peanut butter, but that's kind of redundant. Apple slices or banana pieces may be used as the "log" as well, with peanut butter. I've never seen cream cheese used with these two, probably because it would be icky. Just spread the peanut butter on top of the fruit and dot raisins as instructed.
