Who says a cobbler has to have fruit in it!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I love cobblers and they are probably one of my favorite desserts especially in the summer when there are so many delicious fruits available; peach, blackberry, mixture of raspberry, blackberry and blueberry – you name it if it has fruit and a crust it will be on my list of favorite desserts.<\/p>\n

My sister, Terry, told me about having a pecan cobbler that she liked so I had to start looking for a recipe and when I found one my first thought was “how could chocolate not make this taste even better”. Well, it did and it also made it a richer dessert and if you plan on serving it with ice cream start with a small serving since you can always go back for seconds. I ended up portioning my leftovers into small tin cups and freezing it so if we have a chocolate attack we can go get one and nuke it and add some vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n

I use to love picking up pecans at my parent’s house because I knew I would be bringing them back to Texas. One year, during my catering years, I brought back about 200 pounds of pecans (the small native type from Missouri). I had them cracked there before bringing them back because I wasn’t sure if I could find a machine here that would crack the little nuts. My big mistake was to leave them in the huge plastic bags they were in. Well, I managed to shell one very large bag which was probably at least 50-75 lbs. Then, guess what happened, the ones not shelled MOLDED and guess who was the beneficiary of these molded pecans — our squirrels in the back yard. I remember pouring them out and the pile was about a 4′ mound and it took the squirrels about 2 months to finally remove them all.  I learned my lesson on trying to bring back too many pecans. These days I buy them from a wholesaler or my sister gives me some of hers.<\/p>\n

So, if you love pecans and you like cobbler, give this recipe a try; with or without the chocolate chips. I do have to say 1 cup of chocolate chips was a little too sweet. I’ll go with 1\/2-3\/4 cup the next time I make this recipe.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/span> <\/strong>Loveless Cafe Biscuits<\/a> are great and I’ve had them several times while visiting Nashville and the Loveless Cafe.<\/p>\n

Don’t those look like delicious ingredients.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All the cobbler ingredients get mixed together. This is so easy you will want to find your variations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The melted butter is going in the bottom of the pan and then you will sprinkle all the pecans over the butter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pour the batter evenly over the pecans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sprinkle on your chocolate chips; I used mini chips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Top with the brown sugar and then pour on the hot water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Doesn’t this make you want to dig in and have a couple of bites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I would like to have a piece of that right now.<\/p>\n
