Cracker Barrel Cherry Chocolate Cobbler

By winefoot

This cherry chocolate cobbler is simple, decadent, and a perfect dupe for the Cracker Barrel original. Enjoy warm with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream to kick it up a notch.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 (6-ounce) package nestle semisweet chocolate morsels
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. Cut with a pastry blender until the crumbs are the size of small peas.

In an oven-safe bowl over a pot of hot (not boiling) water, melt the chocolate morsels. Allow to cool 5 minutes at room temperature. Add milk and egg to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Finally, add chocolate sauce to flour mixture and mix well.

Spread cherry pie filling in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Drop chocolate batter randomly over cherries. Sprinkle nuts all over top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes at 350°F and let cool before serving.
