    Ingredients

      1 pound Filo Dough
      3/4 pound unsalted Butter, melted
      Filling:
      1 cup chopped Walnuts
      1 cup Chocolate Chips
      2 teaspoons Cinnamon
      Syrup:
      1-1/2 cups Sugar
      1-1/2 cups Water
      1 Lemon, juiced
      1/2 cup Honey
       

    Directions

    Syrup:
    In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water and lemon juice.
    Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
    Gradually add the honey and simmer for 5 minutes more.
    Remove from heat.

    Baklava:
    Preheat oven to 325o.
    Butter a 9 x 12 baking pan.
    Combine the walnuts, chocolate chips and cinnamon, set aside.
    Line the bottom of the pan with a sheet of filo and brush it with melted butter.
    Add another sheet of filo and brush this second one.
    Continue this way until you have used up 1/2 the package of filo (approximately 20 sheets)  (If the amount of butter astounds you, you can get the same result by buttering every 2nd  or 3rd layer of filo.)
    Sprinkle the walnut/chocolate mixture onto the prepared filo.
    Continue layering/buttering the filo on top of the chip mixture until all the filo is used  up.
    Using a sharp knife cut through the baklava to form diamonds.
    Bake about 1 hour or until golden brown.
    Remove from oven and slowly pour the cooled syrup on top.
    Let cool completely and serve at room temperature.
