These struffoli were amazing! I've never had anything like them before. I will definitely be making them again.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less honey next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my struffoli came out too hard. Maybe I fried them for too long?

I followed the recipe exactly and the struffoli came out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The honey syrup was also delicious.
