FAQs
Can I use large marshmallows?
Yes. Cut them into smaller pieces so they melt more evenly.
Do I have to use graham crackers?
Yes, they give the cobbler its classic s’mores flavor.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It is best served warm, but you can bake it ahead and reheat before serving.
Can I use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips?
Yes, chocolate chunks work well and create larger pockets of melted chocolate.
Can I use a different cake mix?
Yes, white cake mix or chocolate cake mix can also work.
Should I stir the layers together?
No. Keep the layers separate so the cobbler bakes with the right texture.
Can I add more marshmallows?
Yes, but avoid adding too many or the top may become overly sticky.
How do I know when it is done?
The top should be golden, bubbly, and set around the edges.
Can I serve this cold?
You can, but it tastes best warm when the chocolate and marshmallows are soft.
What goes well with this cobbler?
Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce pair nicely with it.
