Berry Cobbler

Dump into the crock pot and stir together:

2/3 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
6 cups mixed berries, frozen or fresh
(I did fresh blackberries and frozen strawberries)

Cover and Cook on LOW 4 hours or until bubbly.

Separate bowl, mix for topping:

2 cups flour
4 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Cut in 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) - it will be crumbly

Stir in, just until moistened:

1/2 cup milk (I was out and used canned milk)
2 beaten eggs

Drop TBSP size mounds on top of the hot fruit mixture - single layer, evenly spaced. Cover and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes. It will not brown, but will be cooked.

Scoop out and serve with ice cream if you like.

*Hold onto your hat...this one rocks!!! Cobbler in the summer without turning on the oven, we're in heaven! YUM. We even kept it on the warm setting and enjoyed it later in the evening. The biscuit topping in this recipe isn't super sweet, I prefer it that way. It would be good even WITHOUT the ice cream. Enjoy!

Hot Fudge Cake

Not to be confused with:
Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Cake

In mixing bowl, combine:

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup flour
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Then stir in:

2 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

Spread the mixture into the bottom of the crockpot.

Back in the empty mixing bowl:

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cup boiling water

Stir until sugar and powder are dissolved and then pour over the mixture in the crockpot. DO NOT STIR!

Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until a toothpick, inserted into the cake, comes out clean. Like magic, you have cake AND fudge sauce to scoop out and serve warm over vanilla ice cream. It only took 2 hours in my 6 quart pot.

*My kids liked this better than the peanut butter recipe I mentioned at the top of this one, ME? I like the peanut butter one better - but this way, you can decide for YOU! In either case, they hit the spot when your sweet tooth cries out for hot fudge and vanilla ice cream. Also, I think that the next time I make it, I'm going to try to make it with white sugar instead of brown sugar. I'll let you know if it works.

Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Cake

Combine in a mixing bowl:

1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup milk
1 TBSP vegetable oil

Mix until smooth and then stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter.

Add mixture to crockpot.

In empty mixing bowl (I used the same one without cleaning it out):

1/2 cup sugar
3 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder

Add 1 cup boiling water to the sugar and cocoa powder, stir until dissolved. Pour over first mixture in the crockpot. DO NOT STIR

Cook on HIGH 2-3 hours or until toothpick comes out clean.

*I doubled this one the first time...too much! I have two kids that don't prefer chocolate. We served this HOT over vanilla ice cream. Sooooo good!
