FAQs

What if my cobbler is too thick?

If your cobbler batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a pourable consistency.

Can I make this cobbler without chocolate chips?

Yes, you can omit the chocolate chips if you prefer a lighter flavor or substitute with white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips.

How can I achieve a perfectly toasted marshmallow topping?

For a beautifully toasted marshmallow topping, broil the cobbler for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.

What should I do if the cobbler is overcooked?

If your cobbler is overcooked, it may dry out. Serve it with a scoop of ice cream or drizzle some warm chocolate sauce on top to add moisture.

Can I reduce the sugar in this recipe?

Yes, you can reduce the sugar by up to 1/4 cup, but this may slightly alter the sweetness of the final cobbler.

What if I don’t have graham crackers?

In place of graham crackers, you can use vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits for a different but still delicious base.

Can I add fruit to the cobbler?

Absolutely! Adding sliced bananas or strawberries can introduce a fresh flavor that complements the chocolate and marshmallow.

Is there a way to make this recipe more decadent?

For an extra indulgent version, consider adding layers of caramel sauce between the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
