NEAPOLITAN STRUFFOLI
Struffoli is a Neapolitan dessert that is traditionally prepared at Christmas and made of tiny dough balls that have been deep-fried and soaked in honey, then piled high on plates and trays. Some like to form them in the shape of Christmas trees or wreaths, always festively covered with multi-colored candy sprinkles. People who grew up with this traditional Christmas treat go out of their way to make sure there is a struffoli on the holiday table.

NEAPOLITAN FUDGELS
From the book Candymaking By Ruth A. Kendrick & Pauline H. Atkinson, publication year 1987. A mother and daughter team of serious candy makers. In the book, they make the professional quality candies as well as the quick and easy types. They gleefully describe this quick and easy candy - Fudgels as one of their most cherished creations. It is best described by these ladies as "a cross between fudge and truffles" - hence the name. These candies use compound coatings, or candy melts. They are pretty and delicious. I have made them many times and my family and friends love them. It is also a good summer candy, quick and very little cooking. They do have to be kept refrigerated. Quoting the ladies again, "this pretty, three-layer fudgel combines pink, white and chocolate-flavored compound coatings. For variety, the pink layer can be flavored with almond, strawberry or raspberry extract."

Steps:
- Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside.
- Place melted coating in three separate small bowls. In a 1-quart saucepan, or medium-size bowl if using microwave, combine 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup marshmallows. Place pan over low heat and stir occasionally until marshmallows are melted, or microwave on Medium (50%) about 30 seconds or until marshmallows are melted. Add desired extract and stir quickly to combine. Add pink coating and stir quickly until mixture is smooth. Spoon immediately into prepared pan and spread evenly with metal spatula.
- Repeat with white coating, using 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup marshmallows. Spread evenly over pink layer.
- Repeat with chocolate coating, using remaining milk and marshmallows. Quickly spread over white layer.
- Refrigerate until firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into 1-inch squares. Store in refrigerator. Makes 64 pieces. Cooking time is chilling time.
- Note: I line the buttered pan with parchment paper, cut to fit pan, and butter the paper. The number of pieces really depends on the size that you decide to cut the candy.
- Another note: The authors state that variation exists between the different manufacturers of candy melts; some are harder and some are softer. If your fudgels are too hard, try them again with 2 additional tablespoons of evaporated milk; if they are too soft, decrease the evaporated milk by 2 tablespoons.
- And when I say "pink chocolate candy melts" I really mean pink candy melts. This was the only way the computer would recognize the ingredient.
