Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325

  5. Put into muffin tins and bake for 10-15 minutes until they begin to brown
  6. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, remove phyllo cups from muffin tins and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet

  8. On medium heat stir until combine and let cook for about 3 minutes until syrup thickens
  9. Remove from heat and add chopped nuts
  10. Let mixture cool slightly and add to phyllo cups
  11. Return to oven for 5 mins
