This is a great hostess gift! My mom would use festive holiday bowls and bring to people she would visit. Fun and easy to make. I remember making these when I was just a kid.

These will be an adorable addition to your dessert tray this Christmas. The inside of the honey balls stay soft and the outside gets a bit crisp. The honey sauce is where all the flavor comes from. The colored sprinkles add crunch and make these a festive dessert. We've seen these called Struffoli too and are a great little bite to satisfy your sweet tooth. They'd make great gifts for the holiday too! Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen

How to Make Pinulada (Honey Balls)

Step-by-Step

Mix eggs and flour together.
Piece off a medium amount and roll into about a 1/4 inch round snake.
Cut into small pieces, about 1/4 inch. These will blow up when deep fried
Fry until just golden, not dark.
Use a brown paper bag for draining, just place them in and let them cool.
In a medium size pot, add honey and sugar. Make sure the sugar is completely melted.
Add some of the balls a little at a time; don't overload the honey pot.
Scoop out with slotted spoon and place in your bowls of choice, and using wet hands mold it into a mound and sprinkle with sprinkles.
