An easy Valentine Dessert

Our friends at McLeod Home Building Centre in Spruce Grove, AB sent us along a virtual cookbook of famous recipes. Below is one I figure is a simple valentine's dessert that the boys can make for the ladies in their lives. My Dad loves Cracker Barrel, my husband & father-in-law love cherry pie filling, so I dedicate this post to them ;)

Not fancy by any means, but probably tastes super sweet and chocolately, perfect for a treat.

"Cracker Barrel" Cherry Chocolate Cobbler
1−1/2 cups flour
1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cups butter
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi−sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cups milk
1 egg
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
1/2 cups nuts, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350F. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking
powder, salt and butter; cut with pastry blender until crumbs are
size of large peas. Melt chocolate chips over hot (not boiling) water.
Remove from heat and cool slightly at room temperature (about 5 minutes).

Add milk and egg to melted chocolate and mix well.
Blend chocolate into flour mixture.
Spread cherry pie filling in bottom of 2 quart casserole. Drop chocolate
batter randomly over cherries. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Bake at 350 F for 40 − 45 minutes. Serve warm with heavy cream.
