Authentic Struffoli Recipe Struffoli are little balls of dough in a honey/sugar glaze, with nonpareil sprinkles. 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. They may need more honey as well as they absorb it as they sit. Fry the struffoli a few handfuls at a time, until puffed up and golden brown.
