Who’s ready to turn off their ovens for some no-bake desserts? Nothing shouts Christmas and an easy gift like the smell of spiced nuts wafting through the mall. These little morsels are sweet, crunchy, and oh-so satisfying. You can use your favorite nut, and we (cough Mac cough) love pecans. Walnuts are also really good.
