Baklava Bites
- 1/3 cup pistachios
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup unblanched almonds
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup butter, melted, divided
- 1 ounce semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 15 sheets phyllo dough (14x9 inch size)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- Place the first seven ingredients in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in honey and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir in chocolate.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush with butter. Layer with four additional phyllo sheets, brushing each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
- Using a sharp knife, cut the layered sheets into twelve squares. Carefully press each stack into a greased miniature muffin cup; fill each with a rounded teaspoonful of filling. Form into bundles by gathering edges of phyllo squares and twisting centers to close. Repeat twice with remaining ingredients.
- Brush tops with remaining melted butter. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine syrup ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove baklava bites from oven; drizzle immediately with syrup. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool. Store in an airtight container.
