Strufoli (cinnamon, powder, baking, cooking)

[NicoleJ]

Anyone have an EASY recipe for these? Also, am I supposed to eat them warm? How do I store them? If I'm giving them for gifts along w/ other items, do I need to put them in a separate container?

The above recipe is similar to my Mother's recipe. She also added cinnamon to the honey, stacked the "balls" and poured the honey, then sprinkled with "sprinkles". You eat them at room temperature.
