This is my daughter's recipe. She loves anything with cherries. I made it easier with the cherry pie filling. It's so yummy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Need the easiest homemade dessert? This cherry chocolate cobbler is delish. Once baked, it's crispy and flaky on top with a soft, gooey inside. The rich chocolate cake has pops of sweet and tart from the cherry filling. A sprinkle of chopped nuts gives this dessert a nice crunch. This treat tastes like a chocolate-covered cherry!
