Celery Crunch Swirls

1 whole bunch celery
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 C. grated American cheese
1 Tbsp. minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp. milk

Separate celery into ribs; trim and wash. Mix together cheeses and blend until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and thoroughly blend. Spread mixture in center of each rib. Press 3 ribs together with cheese facing the center. This results in a center of cheese with celery completely surrounding it. Secure bundles with rubber bands. Chill for at least 1 hr..

Remove bands and slice 1/2 in. thick.
