Ingredients needed to make Homemade Chocolate Cobbler.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COBBLER:

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Pour the melted butter into an 9x9 baking dish and set aside.

In a large bowl, add flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, ½ cup of granulated sugar and 1⁄4 cup of cocoa powder

Whisk ingredients together until combined.

Pour in the milk and vanilla extract.

Milk and vanilla added to dry ingredients.

Whisk together until everything is combined.

Add the chocolate chips to the batter. Mix together again until chocolate chips are incorporated.

Chocolate chips added to cobbler mixture.

Pour the batter over the butter in the pan and lightly spread the mixture to the edges without mixing it into the butter.

Cobbler mixture pourrez over cobbler in pan.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining granulated sugar and cocoa powder.

Remaining dry ingredients in bowl mixed together for topping.

Sprinkle mixture on top of the cobbler. (It will seem like a lot but use all of it.)

Cobbler sprinkled with remaining dry ingredients.

Pour the hot water evenly over the top (do not stir.) Then bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes, or until the top forms a crust and has dried out. I also put a drip pan underneath the baking dish to catch any possible overspill as it bakes.

Let it cool for 10 minutes.
