1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen phyllo dough, thawed

For filling, stir together nuts, chocolate and 3/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Brush bottom of 15x10x1-inch pan with some of melted butter. Unfold phyllo. Layer about 1/4 of the sheets in the pan, brushing each sheet generously with butter and allowing dough to extend up the sides of the pan. (Keep unsued phyllo covered) Sprinkle about 2 cups filling on top. Repeat layering phyllo and filling 2 more times. Layer remaining sheets in the pan, brushing each with butter. Drizzle any remaining butter overtop. Trim edges to fit pan. Using a sharp knife, cut through all layersto make triangles, diamond shaped pieces or squares. Bake in 325°F oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden. Slightly cool pan on wire rack.
