Don’t set out a bowl of boring nuts for guests to snack on at your New Year’s Eve party or post-Christmas present swap. Instead, whip up these easy coffee-glazed walnuts from Debi Mazar (yes, the “Goodfellas” and “Entourage” actress) and her husband, Gabriele Corcos, co-stars and producers of the Cooking Channel show “Extra Virgin.”
