Callimachus called these "honey tokens" some time during the 3rd century B.C. Loukoumades were the 1st prizes awarded to winners of the ancient Olympics. Now they are the perfect Greek cafe dessert celebratory piece of decadent, or mid-morning snack. They’re especially good on cold wintry afternoons with a nice cup of coffee. Bon appetit!
