I hope you’ll enjoy this spiced chocolate honey nut baklava recipe as much as my family does!
Layers of crisp, buttery phyllo dough surround a decadent mix of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and spiced nuts. Once baked, this baklava recipe is drenched in a fragrant honey syrup infused with orange blossom and rose water. It’s a rich, indulgent dessert that brings a fresh twist to a beloved classic.

Hi, I'm Mary DiSomma.
I’ve been baking since I was a little girl. In fact, my Italian-American grandmother, mother, and aunts taught me everything I know. They were my "cooking school." In the kitchens of the women in my family, I inherited the tips and tricks of the generations. I continue cooking and baking their recipes to this day. In fact, I still make over 7,000 cookies every year just to give away to family and friends during the holidays!
