I can not believe this! This week I have been thinking of making Baklava and wanting to look for a good recipe and also thinking of you as I haven't gotten any notifications that you posted a video. Then poof, a notification pops up for your video. Honestly, this truly happened!!!
I, most definitely, will be making Baklava, using your recipe, after I purchase a pan that size.
I have never made Baklava before and I absolutely love to bake and create desserts and anything sweet.
Thank you ever so much for sharing your recipe and creating this video! You truly are an amazing woman!

They look fabulous, and yes I drooled. Ha! ha! They would make great Christmas gifts to co wokers, neighbors, friends, ext. DT has great packaging for stuff like that.

[WAlycia]

This will definitely be on my Thanksgiving dessert table. I will not be able to wait until then to make this, so I’m going to get the nuts and fillo pastry so I can make this next week. It looks easy enough so thank you and your friend for showing us how to make this decadent treat! Don’t forget the chicken lemon rice soup.

[natashavillanueva]

That would be a perfect gift. DT carries a big container of Hot chocolate mix. Layer the mix and marshmallows put a little saran wrap on the top and decorate with a bow to hide the wrap and ribbon around the handle. I love making goodies.
