I would like to rate this recipe less than a 1 if possible. I can't understand why so many people are saying that it came out great for them. I made it according to the directions and it came out awful. It looked like gobs of chocolate balls floating in a chocolate sea. I thought it was supposed to be a cobbler and the consistency was anything but that. The gobs were overly sweet. Maybe if it didn't call for so much water, it would have turned out better. 1 1/2 cups boiling water with nothing to cling to is just that....water! I won't make this dish again. I will use a crust recipe from an apple or peach cobber and and make my own chocolate filling.

Wow! This is awesome! I used about 1/4 cup less boiling water and it came out just right. Served it with vanilla ice cream and it was great. Thanks for sharing.

this was really good. It is best served warm out of oven. I used a cup of flour and 1 Tablespoon of baking powder in place of self rising flour, worked great!

I loved this recipe. It was easy and really delicious. I took it to a party and had many people ask for the recipe! The only thing I changed was to only use enough boiling water to cover the top of the dish.

This is one of the best chocolate desserts I have ever made. I really didn't let it cool enough before I tasted it, but I just couldn't wait! This recipe deserves a lot more than 5 stars because the taste is wonderful and it is so, so easy. This cobbler is rich and the right amount of rich. The sauce is a perfect smooth chocolate and is complemented by the cakey topping, which by itself is a treat. Chocolate cobbler is perfect for a chocolate fix. Thanks for a wonderful recipe I will make again and again! (Since I didn't have self-rising flour, I used 1 cup flour and added 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt).

This chocolate dessert is outstanding, and so easy to prepare.I did wonder about the boiling water, but it worked, the sauce was just right. My husband could hardly stop with one serving.My daughter said it reminded her of coming home from a bad day at school your mom has this wonderful treat to make your day better. This will definately be be one of my favorite desserts to make.Ella Wade

We really enjoyed this dessert. It was super fast for a week night dinner. We served it with sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Next time we will try with mandarin orange slices and whip cream.

how much easier can this get. almost no work involved and my family loved it.they want me to make another cobbler again right away.

OMG this was so good. It is so rich you can't eat very much. Will definitly be making this over & over.

This cobbler was really good, a big hit at our house! After reading the reviews about it being too sweet, I reduced the sugar amounts to 2/3 cup each (50/50 sugar and Splenda). The result was a lovely chocolatey pudding cake; I would have needed the extra sugar to get the "crunchy" cobbler effect. Regardless, we tucked into it and finished it off in two nights. For next time, I think I'll increase the topping sugar (to 3/4 cup) and add some instant coffee granules to the cake mixture to enhance the chocolate flavor. My partner said he thought it would be nice with dried currants or dried cherries, so I'll work that variation in, too. Thanks for the recipe!

made exactly as directed & wow - it was so sweet it made my teeth hurt. very easy & pretty neat how those simple ingredients make a nice dessert, but it was just too sweet for me. chocolate underneath cakey part stayed very thin.

This was ok - it wasn't as rich as I thought it would be. The flavors were all just kind of mediocre, there wasn't much depth or complexity. It served it's purpose of fixing my sweet tooth, but I probably wouldn't make it again.

Just a little bit sweet for me- i would have liked this recipe much better had the chocolate been more intensely chocolate and less sweet- i might remake the recipe and put in a bit less sugar and maybe up the chocolate- or maybe use a darker chocolate. I used Hersheys. Overall, good- but not great!

This is one of the best recipes I have made in a long time! I didn't have any vanilla extract so I used 1/2 tsp. of rum..and mine had to bake about 35 minutes...perfect! My friend and I ate it plain...it looks like a turd in a bowl but tastes like heaven. I said how easy it was to make and he said, "well it doesn't taste like it was easy". Thank you so much for a delicious recipe!!

This was good but the consistancy was not quite right (a little runny and gummy). I'm not a pro baker so I'm not sure what exactly to do to improve it. Needs something though. As long as you serve with Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream it's good. I will update "IF" I try it again.

Won't make again.
