Ingredients

2 Tablespoons melted butter

Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius

Combine all ingredients apart from nuts in a medium bowl.

Mix well.

Lay one sheet of Phyllo on a clean surface, lightly spray with olive oil spray, repeat with 3 more layers of Phyllo spraying in between each one and layering on top of the previous sheet.

Cut stack in half lengthways and then cut into 4 cross ways. Depends how big the muffin tin is.

Place each stack into greased muffin tin.

Place chopped nuts in the base of each and then pour in sufficient caramel mixture to cover nuts and come 3/4 way to the top of the Phyllo nest.

Bake in the oven for approx. 15 minutes, until Phyllo is golden and nut mixture bubbling.

Remove and cool.
