For about ten minutes of active cooking, a couple hours of fridge time, and a festive tin, you'll be rewarded with a gift that anyone on your list will savor—literally. Feel free to blend in your favorite chopped nuts, or go full-on festive by adding crushed candy canes. And no, we won't tell anyone if this is a gift that "Santa" brings you!
