Struffoli. Drizzle any remaining honey mixture over the struffoli. Decorate with sprinkles and dust with powdered sugar, if using. Dessert has come and gone, and you swear that you cannot eat another bite.
I added a little Grand Marnier but you could always add Rum or even orange juice if you wanted.
The only thing to remember is to make your honey balls small, a little smaller than a marble is the perfect size.

Struffoli instructions
- Impastate in una planetaria o in una ciotola la farina con lo zucchero, le uova e i tuorli, il burro, la buccia grattugiata del limone, un bicchierino di liquore e un pizzico di sale, lavoratela bene e lasciatela riposare per due ore..
- Tagliate dei pezzi per andare a formare dei bastoncini di mezzo centimetro circa che taglierete a dadini. Friggetene, pochi per volta in olio bollente abbondante a fiamma viva. Quando saranno ben dorati scolateli in un pezzo di carta assorbente..
- Fate bollire in un largo tegame il miele e lo zucchero con 4 cucchiai di acqua. Quando lo sciroppo avrà preso un colore dorato, abbassando la fiamma al minimo, versatevi gli struffoli con una parte dei canditi e girate velocemente e delicatamente con un cucchiaio..
- Rovesciateli subito su un piatto da dolce aggiustandone se necessario la forma con le mani bagnate d'acqua, e decorateli con la frutta candita e i confettini...et voilà.
My grandma always made them for Christmas, but since she can't do it anymore, I came up with my own variation that she loves because mine are a little bit sweeter than the traditional bread-like ones. The struffoli can then be put into whatever serving dish you like. I use one with a lid as they should be covered when stored. In my house that is on the kitchen island for easy munching. After they have sat over night they will need a good stir as the honey sets to the bottom.
