Steps:
- For the filling: Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey, cinnamon sugar and avocado to a food processor and blend on high until smooth and aerated. Scoop into a piping bag or sealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- For the logs and insects: Choose a tip for piping or cut a hole in the corner of the plastic bag. Place the celery leaves in the recess of the celery stalks and pipe the filling over them, leaving a bit of the leaves sticking up on the sides of each. Top with one of each "insect"--a raspberry, raisin, dried cherry and pretzel--along the length or make logs to your liking.

Steps:
- Trim the long sides of each pound cake at an angle using a serrated knife. Use the knife to carve out a 1/2-inch-deep, 2 1/2-inch-wide channel down the center of each cake.
- Cover the cakes with the frosting, leaving the bottom of the channel unfrosted. Use the back of a fork to make grooves in the frosting. Put the cakes in the freezer until the frosting sets, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the peanut butter filling: Beat the butter and peanut butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar on low speed until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix a few drops of green food coloring in a small bowl with a drop of yellow food coloring and a splash of water. Brush onto the frosting. Adjust the color with more food coloring or water as needed.
- Spread the peanut butter filling into the channel in each cake using the back of a spoon.
- Arrange the prunes on top of the peanut butter filling.
