Cracker Barrel Chocolate Cherry Cobbler (copycat)

Category: Cobblers/Crumbles and Crisps

1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter
1 egg
1 cup (a 6 oz bag) chocolate chips
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. You will need a 1 1/2 to 2 quart baking dish (I used a 1.5 QT oval).

Mix flour, sugar, salt & baking powder in a medium bowl. Cut butter into chunks and add to the flour mixture.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles small peas. Set aside.

Spread cherry pie filling in the bottom of a 1.5 to 2 quart baking dish. Set aside.

Melt chocolate chips either in the microwave or stovetop. Stir frequently until the chips are all melted and mixture is smooth. Cool for about 5 minutes. Add evaporated milk and egg to melted chocolate chips. Stir until well blended.

Add the chocolate mixture to the flour mixture. Mix very well. Drop randomly on top of cherry filling in baking dish. Sprinkle with the almonds. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream or cream.
