Easy Smores Cobbler

Easy Smores Cobbler with chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. A simple, warm dessert recipe for busy evenings.

I put this cobbler together on a quiet evening when everyone wanted dessert but no one wanted a long recipe. It felt like the right moment for a pan of warm chocolate, melted marshmallows, and a soft base underneath. The smell from the oven filled the kitchen within minutes, and it drew everyone in before I even called them to the table.

What I like most about this recipe is how simple it feels while still tasting like a real treat. You stir a few pantry staples, pour them into a dish, and let the oven do the rest. The top turns soft and gooey, the chocolate melts into every corner, and the bottom forms a tender layer that soaks up all that sweetness.

When I served it, the room went quiet in the best way. Spoons scraped the dish, and a second round was requested before the first was finished. It is the kind of dessert that feels warm, familiar, and worth making again on the next cozy night at home.
