Chocolate Cobbler

Happy New Year!!

I'm a mean woman and am sharing a truly sinful treat on the first day of the new year, I apologize in advance for all the broken new years resolutions. 

Still friends?

Soooometimes you just need something chocolatey, warm, and gooey. You just need to like....sit down, and eat a decadent treat. Maybe with ice cream on top. Because for some reason warm stuff and cold stuff is like...a fascinating combo. And it makes your belly happy. This chocolate cobbler (why is it cobbler? it's not fruit?) will make your belly happy.

And if you put a scoop of salted caramel ice cream on top, all the better.

Now, this isn't my MOST favorites. It actually looks more chocolatey than it tastes.

I NEED MORE CHOCOLATE!

But it tastes super warm and filling and the fact that it essentially creates its' own hot fudge is like magic.
