Chocolate Cherry Cobbler
Cracker Barrel’s motto on desserts is “cause you deserve it.” Well, you definitely deserve this chocolate cobbler.
Cobbler is a southern dessert and likely where this one originated. This chocolate cherry cobbler is like a lava cake but so much easier to make and definitely as good to enjoy.
Recipe Ingredients:
This chocolate cobbler has so many great flavors including chocolate, cherry, and nuts. This dessert comes together perfectly.
- All-Purpose Flour
- Granulated Sugar
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Butter
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- Milk
- Egg
- Cherry Pie Filling
- Chopped Nuts
How to Make Cherry Chocolate Cobbler
- Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter in a mixing bowl.
- Cut with a pastry blender until the crumbs are the size of peas.
- Melt the chocolate over hot water.
- Allow the chocolated to cool then add milk and egg and mix to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend until completely combined.
- Spread the cherry pie filling into the bottom of a casserole dish.
- Top it with dollops of the chocolate mixture.
- Sprinkle nuts on top.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes.
How to Tell if Cherry Chocolate Cobbler is Done
You can tell if the cobbler is done when the top is set and firm when you give it a gentle shake. The bottom will still be a bit loose since it’s full of cherry filling.
Recipe Notes
- Almonds go really well with cherries but you can use any type of nuts you want.
- If you prefer dark chocolate, you can use extra-dark or dark semi-sweet morsels (70% cacao) if you don’t want to the semi-sweet morsels.
- This dessert is best served with vanilla ice cream but you can also add whipped cream or pour cream on top.
How to Store Cherry Chocolate Cobbler
The best way to store it is to eat it!
Honestly, if you store it with a lid in the refrigerator, it will last about a week tops before the cherry filling starts to make the cobbler topping soggy. It definitely doesn’t freeze very well.
It tastes the best fresh out of the oven, so eat it up!
When Does Cracker Barrel have chocolate cobbler?
This is definitely a seasonal pie. Always ask your local Cracker Barrel store if they have it made before you go, especially if you are really looking forward to it.
The best thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to wait for it to be in stock. You can make this anytime that you are craving cherries and chocolate together in a scrumptious pie.

Do you drop the chocolate mixture on top of the cherries, or do you drop the cherries on top of the chocolate mixture?
Dale
Chocolate mixture on top or it wouldn’t be a cobbler recipe
Cori
here’s a super easy way to make this – take an angel food cake or non frosted yellow or white cake you can back yourself, and tear apart – layer the cake pieces, chocolate cherries and nuts – and don;t use finely chopped nuts. go with regular chopped or halves of pecans. then pour a mixture of cream, vanilla and 4 eggs over it and bake. you can even microwave this for 15 minutes. then nuke again for another 10-15 minutes
Barb
Don’t you mean you drop spoonfuls of cherries over the chocolate mixture? just sayin
