Prepare the Filling:
- Finely chop the walnuts, pistachios, pecans, and pretzels using a food processor, knife, or by placing them in a sealed bag and smashing.
Toast and Glaze:

Add Honey:
- Remove the skillet from heat. Toss the mixture with honey, ensuring even coating.
Assemble the Phyllo Cups:

Melt the Chocolate:
- Using a double boiler method, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle and Top:
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the filled phyllo cups. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for garnish.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes, then serve the baklava bites immediately or store them for later.

Notes

Customize the nut mix by substituting or adding almonds, hazelnuts, or cashews.
For a salted caramel twist, add a pinch of sea salt to the nut mixture.
