INSTRUCTIONS

Spray a 13 x 9" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In
medium bowl, combine oven toasted walnuts, raisins, sugar and
chocolate; set aside. On wax paper, stack phyllo sheets and trim into
13 x 9" rectangle. Cover phyllo stack with wax paper and a damp
kitchen towel. With serrated knife, cut phyllo trimmings into 1/2"
pieces. Place trimmings in large bowl; toss with hands to separate
into pieces; cover with plastic wrap. Set aside. Preheat oven to 300F
degrees. Place one sheet of phyllo into bottom of prepared pan; brush
with 1 teaspoon margarine. Layer with three more sheets of phyllo,
brushing each with 1 teaspoon margarine; sprinkle top sheet with 1/2
cup nut mixture. Place one sheet of phyllo on top of nut mixture;
brush with 1 teaspoon margarine. Repeat layering with three more
sheets, brushing each sheet with 1 teaspoon margarine. Sprinkle 1/2
cup nut mixture over top layer. Repeat layering phyllo, margarine and
nut mixture two more times, ending with nut mixture. Top nut mixture
with two remaining sheets of phyllo, brushing each one with 1 teaspoon
margarine. Top with reserved phyllo trimmings; drizzle with remaining
2 tablespoons margarine. Bake 1 hour 20 minutes, or until golden.
Remove pan to rack. In small saucepan, heat honey until very hot but
not boiling. Drizzle honey over hot baklava. Cool on rack. Cover and
store in refrigerator.  EACH SERVING PROVIDES: 1 Fat, 1/4 Fruit, 1/4

them  first (the flavor becomes more intense). Simply spread nuts on a
baking sheet and place in a 350F oven; stir occasionally and remove
when nuts are golden brown. If you'd rather not heat up the oven,
toast them in a nonstick skillet--stirring and shaking the pan
often--for about 5 minutes, or heat them in a toaster oven.  Recipe
