Phyllo Nut Rolls
- 1 cup walnuts finely chopped
- 13 cup sugar plus 5 teaspoons sugar (divided)
- 1 tablespoon orange zest freshly grated
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
- 8 sheets phyllo (filo) pastry sheets (14-by-9-inch sheets), thawed
- 1 x vegetable oil spray
- 13 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet) high-quality, or honey
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.

- Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface.
- Coat thoroughly with vegetable oil spray.
- Top with another sheet of dough and coat with spray.
- Sprinkle a fourth of the nut mixture (about 13 cup) evenly over the sheets of dough.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the large phyllo rectangle lengthwise into 3 strips, then in half crosswise to form 6 smaller rectangular strips.
- Beginning at the short ends, loosely roll each strip into a neat roll.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and nut mixture.
- Place rolls about 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Coat tops lightly with vegetable oil spray and sprinkle with remaining 5 teaspoons sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden, about 25 minutes.
- Cool completely.
- For topping: Microwave chocolate until melted, then stir until smooth.
- Transfer to a plastic sandwich bag.
- Snip off one lower corner, being careful not to make the opening too large.
- Drizzle melted chocolate decoratively across top of each cooled roll.
- Or drizzle honey over.
- Let stand at room temperature until chocolate is set or honey is absorbed.
