CHRISTMAS HONEY FRITTERS: Struffoli

Today, it's a snow day and teens are just hanging out at home begging me to cook some mystery dish for them. It's still early so we thought of trying some sweet  goodies for breakfast!I thought this will turnout like a regular donut - -but it came out fuller so after eating two pieces --I am DONE!
