Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Layer

  • 1 (5.9-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 1/2 cups cold milk

Base Layer

  • 1 sleeve (about 9) graham crackers
  • 16 mini (.45-ounce) Hershey bars, broken into pieces

Cake Layer

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, cut into thin slices

Topping

  • 1 (10-ounce) package large marshmallows (cut each one in half)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 1/2 cups of cold milk until the mixture thickens, which should take about 3 minutes. Pour this thickened pudding evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  3. Layer Graham Crackers and Chocolate: Arrange the graham crackers evenly over the pudding layer. Then scatter a little over half of the broken Hershey chocolate pieces on top of the graham crackers.
  4. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the graham crackers and chocolate layer, covering the surface thoroughly.
  5. Top with Butter Slices: Scatter thin slices of butter over the cake mix layer to help it bake into a rich, moist cobbler.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the cake mix is baked through and the top looks slightly set.
  7. Mix Dry Cake Mix: Using a spoon or spatula, gently mix in any dry cake mix remaining on top by breaking up the graham cracker pieces slightly – this helps distribute the flavors.
  8. Add Marshmallows and Remaining Chocolate: Layer the halved marshmallows evenly over the top of the cobbler and scatter the remaining Hershey chocolate pieces between the marshmallows for melting.
  9. Broil Marshmallows: Place the pan under the broiler just long enough to toast and brown the marshmallows, creating a perfectly gooey, golden finish. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut marshmallows in half to ensure even toasting and melting.
  • If you don’t have a broiler, you can finish the marshmallow topping in a very hot oven but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Use full-size Hershey bars broken into pieces if mini bars are unavailable.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let layers set for easier scooping.
  • Adding a pinch of salt to the pudding mixture can enhance the chocolate flavor if desired.
