About
The rustic charm of Cobbler Bars is only matched by its delicious sweetness! The brown-sugar-sweet crust would be tasty enough on its own, but then it's filled with juicy, tart, and vibrant blackberries and floral peaches! On top, crunchy, buttery, and candy-like pecans! Mmmm, Cobbler Bars are a home-baked treat that really warms the soul!
