6 holiday recipes to try this season, courtesy of “With Love, Meghan, Holiday Celebration”

A nostalgic snack from her childhood, Meghan reimagines homemade “puppy chow,” a classic no-bake snack, as festive “reindeer chow.”

“[L]et’s do a throwback, ‘cause we want to talk about what happens as you grow up and elevate what you eat, but also the things, especially around the holidays, that become sentimental that always stay with you,” she says.

Her recipe only calls for a short list of ingredients that also happen to be pantry staples. To start, combine butter and semisweet chocolate chips in a large bowl and put them in the microwave to melt. Add one-third cup of peanut butter and a splash of vanilla to the bowl and stir them into the melted chocolate mixture. Pour that mixture over your favorite corn, wheat, or rice cereal and mix everything using your hands. Using a sifter, sprinkle two cups of powdered sugar onto the coated cereal and mix once again. Let the reindeer chow cool before serving — or packing.

For restaurateur Will Guidara’s wife, chef and cookbook author Christina Tosi, Meghan packs her homemade reindeer chow in a tall jar adorned with a festive bow.
