Have never done much baking with phyllo dough, but these little gems were a pleasure to make & a real delight eating ~ They were part of my finger food counter the other night & guests devoured them in no time, even though I'd tripled the recipe! Thanks for sharing the recipe ~ IT'S A KEEPER! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food.
I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun.
