If you need a way to use up some rhubarb from your garden, this recipe is sure to knock it out of the park! I am not a huge fan of rhubarb, but I will admit I ate almost the whole dish of this stuff by myself over the course of several days.
You have to give me some slack though! My husband was out of town and what is a girl to do other than drown her sorrows in a delicious bowl of rhubarb cobbler with a big scoop of ice cream while watching Flip or Flop or Ficker Upper? Yep, it was fun while it lasted.
I did make the original recipe which you can find here on Pinterest, and it was delicious. I did feel that it would make a better cobbler with a little bit more fruit in it so added some huckleberries I had. You really could add blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries to enhance the recipe if you wanted. If you don’t want the extra fruit, just use the rhubarb.
