The hardest part is working with the delicate phyllo dough, but they are worth it. We will enjoy them tonight with some wine while we watch SNL.
Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients
1 cup walnuts
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup dried fruit bits
3 tablespoons rum or apple juice (we used rum)
3 tablespoons honey
12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
2/3 cups butter, melted
For filling place walnuts and sugar in a food processor. Cover and process or blend until walnuts are finely ground, but dry. In a small bowl combine walnut mixture, lemon peel, cinnamon, and nutmeg
In a small saucepan combine fruit bits, rum or apple juice, and honey. Bring to boiling over medium heat; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 8 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add fruit mixture to walnut mixture; stir just until combined.
Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board. Lightly brush the sheet with some melted butter. Place another phyllo sheet on top, brush with butter. Repeat with 2 more phyllo sheets. Cut layered sheets crosswise into 8 equal strips (we cut into 4). Place about 2 teaspoons of filling 1 inch from end of each dough strip. Continue folding strip in a triangle shape. Repeat process with remaining phyllo sheets.
Place filled triangles on a lightly greased baking sheet; brush tops with remaining melted butter. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until triangles are golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly.

Yeah, we enjoyed these but all passed out before getting through SNL. Passed out from the wine, not the triangles, they were very good.
Yum, looks good!!
Thanks for info - I just thought it was hilarious that he asked that!
@angela - thanks for your help.
@lori - yes, if he was doing his job right he would have asked, "when is a good time to reach Joel?" or something like that.
Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you had the info to stop them all together. It sure has worked for us. We forgot how much until we moved.
