Ingredients:

  • 1-2/3 cups finely chopped pecans
  • 1-2/3 cups finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 24 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-inch size)
  • syrup:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • drizzle:
  • 1 cup (6 oz) dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp shortening

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix the first six ingredients. Brush a 13x9-in. baking pan with some of the butter. Unroll phyllo dough; trim to fit into pan.
  2. Layer six sheets of phyllo in prepared pan, brushing each with butter. Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Sprinkle with a third of the nut mixture. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1-1/2-in. diamond shapes. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine water, honey, sugar and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
  5. Pour over warm baklava. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cover and let stand for several hours or overnight.
  6. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle over baklava; let stand until set. Yield: 3 dozen.
