Recipe #17: Chocolate Cobbler

Absolute decadence. This cake/pudding is exactly what I needed for a chocolate hit. It is more of an English pudding style, so it's kind of gooey underneath and cakey on top. I think a dob of only slightly sweet whipped cream on top would just bring this up to a while 'nother level.
