Let’s face it, there isn’t a recipe at Cracker Barrel that isn’t a homerun! But this Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Cherry Chocolate Cobbler is perfection. This cracker barrel chocolate cobbler is a seasonal favorite but now you can enjoy this rich treat anytime especially with premium vanilla bean ice cream.
Cracker Barrel Cherry Chocolate 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. It’s like a lava cake but so much easier to make and definitely as good to enjoy.
How to make Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Cherry Chocolate Cobbler
This chocolate cobbler has so many great flavors including chocolate, cherry, and nuts. This dessert comes together perfectly.
Ingredients:
- 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
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. Cut with a pastry blender until the crumbs are the size of peas.
Next, melt the chocolate over hot water. Allow to cool and add milk and egg to the chocolate and mix.
Blend in the flour mixture until completely combined.
Spread the cherry pie filling into the bottom of a casserole dish and top with the chocolate mixture.
Sprinkle nuts on top and bake for 40-45 minutes.
How to Tell if Cherry Chocolate Cobbler is Done
You can tell that it 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 the cherry filling.
How to Store Cherry Chocolate Cobbler
I think 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.
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.

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
