Baklava Bites: Mini Greek-Inspired Delights

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare Phyllo Cups:**
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
– Using a round cutter, cut phyllo sheets into small circles to fit a mini muffin tin. Layer 3-4 circles per cup, brushing melted butter between each layer. Press gently into the mini muffin tin.

2. **Make the Filling:**
– In a bowl, mix walnuts, pistachios, cinnamon, and cardamom.

3. **Assemble the Bites:**
– Spoon a small amount of the nut mixture into each phyllo cup. Drizzle a little melted butter over the top.

4. **Bake:**
– Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the phyllo cups are golden brown.

5. **Prepare the Syrup:**
– In a saucepan, combine honey, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.

6. **Add the Syrup:**
– Once the baklava bites are out of the oven, immediately spoon the syrup over each one, ensuring it soaks in.

7. **Cool and Serve:**
– Allow to cool completely before removing from the tin. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, if desired.
