Blackberry Brownie Cobbler

Carol's Note:

This is a blackberry cobbler made with a brownie topping instead of the usual 'white/beige' crusts. Blackberries and brownies are a great combination! I have had a bumper crop of blackberries this summer and wanted to try something new. I played with a few brownie recipes and this one works as a pourable topping for the berries.

This was a totally divine dessert! It had the perfect combination of flavors, just simply delicious and so easy to make. I topped it with whipped cream, but I bet it would be heavenly served with ice cream. Made for Comfort Cafe.

Just made it with frozen berries and ate it with vanilla ice cream. It was so darn good. We all had seconds and some had thirds. Thanks!
