I have heard about Chocolate Cobbler for a long time. I believe it is an old recipe. Weirdly I am not a fan of chocolate but my youngest grandson prefers chocolate for dessert so for Sunday dinner I decided to try this. It calls for quite a bit of cocoa and I feared it might be bitter, but as intensely dark as it appears I believe it works. Served with Texas best Blue Bell ice cream finished it off nicely.
