Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10x14-inch baking pan with butter.
- Mix pecans, dark chocolate, 3/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Trim phyllo dough to fit prepared baking pan. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, brushing each sheet with melted butter; sprinkle with 2 cups pecan mixture. Spread butter on 4 more sheets of phyllo and layer over pecans; sprinkle with 2 more cups pecans. Repeat layers with 4 more sheets of phyllo and remaining pecans. Pour any leftover butter over baklava.
- Cut through the top few layers of phyllo lengthwise, leaving bottom layer intact, to create 4 long rows. Make evenly-spaced zigzag cuts along each row to create small triangles, again leaving bottom layer of phyllo intact.
- Bake in preheated oven until phyllo dough is golden brown and flaky, about 1 hour; immediately finish cutting through to bottom layer of baklava.
- Bring orange juice, honey, water, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Pour sauce over baklava.
- Melt remaining 2 ounces chocolate and 1 teaspoon butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Drizzle chocolate over baklava. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

SWEET, CHOCOLATELY DELICIOUS BAKLAVA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips in mixing bowl.
- Melt butter in medium saucepan/
- Place one sheet of filo dough in an 11x9 pan and butter it, continuing until you have used 1/8 to 1/4 of the package (my personal preference).
- Then spread on a layer of chocolate mixture. Repeat with filo dough and chocolate until all is used.
- Cut into 1" squares. Place in oven and bake about 35 minutes (until golden brown).
- While that is baking, in a medium saucepan over medium-low, heat the honey, water, and lemon juice until it comes to a light boil. Remove from heat.
- Once your baklava is out of the oven, place the pan on a cookie sheet and immediately pour syrup mixture over. BE CAREFUL THE SYRUP WILL MOST LIKELY START TO BOIL IMMEDIATELY (sometimes overflowing onto the cookie sheet). Allow to cool, then enjoy.
- For looks I sometimes melt a few chocolate chips and drizzle them on top.
