9. Continue until there is a stack of 6 sheets of phyllo. 10. Cut the stacked phyllo rectangle into 12 equal pieces
11. Gently press each cut piece of phyllo into the mini-muffin tin cups.
12. Press 1 tablespoon of the nut mixture into each of the phyllo cups.
13. Gather the ends of each of the phyllo squares and twist to make a sachet shape.
14. Continue shaping the remaining sachets in the other mini-muffin tin.
