Baby baklava bites
Baklavas are one of my favorites desserts EVER. I just love the crispy, crunchy, nutty, warm flavors mixed with the sweet honey filling. It is one of my favorite desserts that my grandmother used to make and I remember enjoying it as a kid. The flaky layers of phyllo was just divine.
The problem is that making baklavas from scratch seems like a daunting feat. As a result, I created an easier version to still get that same wonderful taste, which takes only minutes to make. Try it out and let me know what you think!
