How cool is that?
Struffoli: Also known as Honey Balls (Italian pronunciation: [ˈstruffoli]; Neapolitan: struffule [ˈstrufːulə]) is a Neapolitan dish made of deep fried balls of sweet dough. The dough is formed in to balls about the size of marbles. Crunchy on the outside and light inside, they are mixed with honey and other sweet ingredients and formed into mounds or rings. There are many different ways to flavor them, but the traditional way is to mix them in honey with diavulilli (nonpareils sprinkles), cinnamon, and bits of orange rind. They are often served at Christmas and are sometimes served warm. :waving:
