Ingredients
- 1 lb. real butter
- 1 package filo dough
- 1 c. chopped almonds or pecans
- 1 package chocolate chips
- 1/2 c. white sugar
- 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 c. honey
- 1/2 c. water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Preheat oven to 425.
Mix sugar, cinnamon, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips in mixing bowl.
Melt butter in medium saucepan/
Place one sheet of filo dough in an 11x9 pan and butter it, continuing until you have used 1/8 to 1/4 of the package (my personal preference).
Then spread on a layer of chocolate mixture. Repeat with filo dough and chocolate until all is used.
Cut into 1" squares. Place in oven and bake about 35 minutes (until golden brown).
While that is baking, in a medium saucepan over medium-low, heat the honey, water, and lemon juice until it comes to a light boil. Remove from heat.
Once your baklava is out of the oven, place the pan on a cookie sheet and immediately pour syrup mixture over. BE CAREFUL THE SYRUP WILL MOST LIKELY START TO BOIL IMMEDIATELY (sometimes overflowing onto the cookie sheet). Allow to cool, then enjoy.
For looks I sometimes melt a few chocolate chips and drizzle them on top. A viewer, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe and therefore, we cannot make representation as to the results.

I love chocolate, but the portion was too much. Also, this had a strong tast of cinnamon as opposed to nice nutty flavour. Overall it looked great, but once bitten the chocolate and cinnamon overpowered the whole taste, it was hard to taste the pecans and almonds....way to rich and heavy as opposed to light and flakey. I wouldn't make this again.
