📝 Preparation Steps
1
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. 2. Combine the walnuts and hazelnuts in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Add the chocolate, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until well mixed. 3. Add the butter to a small pot set over medium heat. Allow the butter to brown lightly until it smells toasted, about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. 4. Divide the phyllo sheets into 3 stacks (12 sheets per stack, but don't stress on it). Lay 1 stack flat in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Evenly pour over 1/3 of the butter. Sprinkle over 1/2 of the nut mix, then layer with a second stack of phyllo. Pour over another 1/3 of the butter. Sprinkle over the remaining nuts, then add the final stack. Pour over the remaining butter. 5. Cut into the baklava lengthwise into 1 1/2 inch strips. Then make diagonal slices, 1 1/2 inches apart, to create a diamond pattern (see photo). Bake ⏱️ 40-45 minutes, until golden. 6. Meanwhile, combine the honey, vanilla, and 1/3 cup water in a medium pan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer ⏱️ 5 minutes until thickened slightly. Pour the syrup over the warm baklava. Let soak for ⏱️ 2 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
