Servings: persons

1 pound slivered almonds
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1-1/2 cups butter, melted
1 package (16 ounces, 14x9-inch sheets) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1-1/4 cups orange juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons water

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0. Place almonds and chocolate chips in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. In a large bowl, combine almond mixture, sugar and orange zest. Brush a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with some of the butter.
2
Unroll phyllo dough. Layer 10 sheets of phyllo in prepared pan, brushing each with butter. Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Sprinkle with a third of the almond mixture. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter. Cut into 1-in. diamonds. Bake until golden brown, 50-60 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine syrup ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes.
3
In a small heavy saucepan, heat chocolate and water over very low heat until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. Pour syrup over warm baklava; drizzle with chocolate mixture. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight. Serve at room temperature.
