When you think of a cobbler, you probably think of bubbling fruit in sauce topped with a sweet batter, and melted chocolate doesn’t immediately come to mind. But with its fondant bottom and chocolate top, this old-fashioned Southern chocolate cobbler fits the cobbler parameters perfectly. It’s a similar combination of textures, but there’s no fruit. There’s just tons of rich chocolate, which is always good news.
