Dutch Oven Chocolate Forrest Crisp - REC

Dutch Oven Chocolate Forest Crisp

The chocolate chips melt to make a creamy chocolate layer in the center. It's to die for! And what makes it even better; you will not dirty a single dish in preparing this dessert. I have made this in a 13x9 pan also.
Enjoy! Debbie

This sound great. I have a wife that hates cherries, any suggestions on subsitutes?

That's too bad that your wife doesn't like cherries, because chocolate and cherries is a classic combination.

I've never tried substituting other fruit for cherries. I wonder if maybe something like red raspberries might work? I think they have a similar flavor to cherries, and you'd get some of the red color too.

Debbie,

Does this actually come out crisp, kind of like a brownie type cake? I have a similar recipe called Black Forest Torte with Cherry Brandy, and that one turns out like a cake.

I'd love to have a dessert like this that had a little crispiness to it.

Looks great. Will definitely try this one!

Your telling me. She also doesn't like seafood. It's tough those are my favorite. I will try the red rasberries, that sounds like it would be the closest. Or I might just make it with cherries, by the time me and my two kids get to it there probably won't be much left anyways.

Its not real cake like but its not real crisp either. Kind of in between.

Golfgar4, not sure what else you could use.

This would be a nice choice, although I'm not sure she likes cherries:

Now thats funny. I guess I could have worded that differantly.

A Glass full of Bourbon makes the Cherries go down -----

Apricots (in syrup or minced dried with applejuice) would make a good sub but I would enjoy Scotch's suggestion as well.

I HAVE to ask. Could you make this also in the oven? I would try to do it but if it turns out not baked what would I do then? Really sounds delicious.

Thanks again for sharing w/us. Your pictures always help.

You sure can bake this in your oven. I use a 9x13 pan.
