This was a HUGE it with my family and friends. It is easy to make and delicious. I wouldn't change a thing with this recipe. I wish I could give this recipe 1000 stars!

I am not a big baklava fan, but I have family members who are and this recipe was a big hit at brunch. Everyone agreed that the muffins really tasted like baklava. While I was assembling the muffins, I was really worried that the syrup was going to leak down the sides of the muffin and cause it to burn, but that didn't happen. I followed the 'make ahead' directions and the recipe did not suffer. I might try to make this again with pistachios, which is what I use when making baklava dessert.

These are fabulous and quite quick and easy to make! I made them for Christmas brunch and got rave reviews from the entire family. I followed the "make ahead" instructions and assembled them about 24 hours before I baked them. I did have to bake them a few minutes longer than the recipe time range, but otherwise the instructions were great. As someone else said, be sure your biscuits are cold and they will be easier to separate into layers. Also, instead of ground cinnamon in the syrup, I used half a cinnamon stick. The syrup really adds a lot of flavor, so don't skip it when serving! I definitely will make these again!

These aren't too bad if you like baklava, but can't handle the work of Philo dough. They are definitely tasty little treats! Few notes though. Trying to divide an unbaked Grands biscuit into 3 layers is tricky, so I just stuck with 2 layers. Also, make sure you have a liner in your oven because the syrup can bubble over, causing a nice little mess. Otherwise, really yummy. Use lots of the nut mixture for a good crunch and I really recommend eating them warm, like specified in recipe. At room temp they are a little on the solid side. I will definitly be making these again!

I submitted a recipe that was virtually identical to this one. My recipe added lemon zest and I used mace instead of cloves, but the rest was essentially the same except that I baked mine as buns on a cookie sheet, not in a cupcake pan. I didn't get picked for the contest(WAAAAHHH!) but I'm glad to see that someone with the same idea did make it in. Some cans of biscuit dough that I used easily split into three sections, others only in two sections. I found that the end result was just as delicious regardless of how many layers you end up with.

These were very easy to make. I thought the nut filling and syrup tasted just like they do with a traditional baklava. I made these on the morning of my husband's birthday. To save time, I made the nut mixture the night before and stored in an air-tight container. Will definitely make again.

I love Baklava. This was my favorite for the Bake-Off this year, simply because it's Baklava. I've made it several mornings, and I've made it several evenings!! Just wanted the cook to know how much I really, really liked it.

Made these last weekend. A little time consuming but my kids and I LOVED them. They are very picky so that says a lot! Great flavor, not very difficult.
