Do I use spackling or what to fix these places in my wall?

I removed vertical blinds and now have to fill in these spots and paint over them. I know I have to sand this first to make it more even with the wall but what's the best thing to fill in the areas that will take paint well?
Use dry wall patch or putty, comes with a little putty knife in a quart container. I've had to do that and it isn't difficult at all. Patch it, wait until its dry, lightly sand and paint over it.
I bought a putty that goes on PINK and turns completely white when dry, that is a big help since I am impatient when it comes to repairs.
I have done the same. Drywall patching compound. Let it dry overnight. Go over it with a damp sponge to smooth it out. Prime and paint touch up.
I'm with the pink spackle, and using a damp sponge. It is so much easier than sanding a lot, and cleaning up the dust.
