This old-time chocolate cobbler is rich and wonderful! It’s great for potlucks and get-togethers. It’s fast, easy, and always a hit.
Rich, hot, gooey, fluffy chocolatey goodness is how I’d describe old-fashioned chocolate cobbler.
If you love molten lava cakes, then you are going to flip your wig over chocolate cobbler! Not only is it pretty much fail-proof, but it’s casual enough to serve after a weekday dinner and decadent enough for special occasions.
