Plot
Sniffles reads in a book that ants love peanut butter. Taking a jar of peanut butter from his kitchen cupboard, Sniffles spreads some on his lips and body. Nutty is suddenly standing outside the back door, attracted to the peanut butter. Sniffles decides to give him the rest of the jar. Then he falls asleep on his couch, anticipating that some delicious ants will show up.

The Ant siblings make their way in through a crack in the wall. They have come for drops of peanut butter on the floor. The brother ant discovers Sniffles' scheme and decides to have it backfire on him, plotting with the others. As soon as Sniffles awakens, he sees the three ants standing on his chest. But he also realizes his lips have been sewn shut.

The sister ant uses a spoon to scoop up a piece of peanut butter, scraping off a bit of Sniffles' flesh in the process. Sniffles, wriggling in pain, sees his hands and feet have also been sewed to the couch. He struggles until the skin from his hands and feet tear off. Now free, he attempts to carefully cut the stitching on his lips with a pair of scissors. Unfortunately, the baby ant pierces his tail with a fork, causing him to cut his snout in half.

Sniffles bursts outside and falls over. His leg gets stuck in an anthill and the mother ant cooks it. From nearby anthills, a swarm of ants gets attracted to the peanut butter all over Sniffles' body. They swarm all over Sniffles and chew him bit by bit. By the time they crawl off he is nothing but a skeleton.

The Ants are dissatisfied because they are still hungry. Then they spot Nutty sleeping at a picnic table, peanut butter stained all over his fur. The ants pull out a needle and thread, preparing to do the same thing they did earlier with Nutty this time.

Deaths

 * 1) Sniffles is chewed to the bone by an ant swarm.
 * 2) Nutty might have suffered a similar fate (offscreen, debatable).

Trivia

 * This isn't the first time someone tries to attract ants by covering themselves with peanut butter; case in point Peanut Butter Peabrains.
 * Sniffles' death is similar to one of Licky's smoochie deaths.
 * No fan characters appear, unless counting the generic ants.
