I earn a $5 Amazon gift card every 2 weeks just by using a Swagbucks search to get to where I want to go...i.e. "hotmail", "funonadime", "asu", etc. Sure, it's an extra page I have to go to, but totally worth it when I see that I win and have enough to claim an Amazon card. You should give it a try, if you have not already! Free fun money! Who's going to complain about that!

p.s. the best way to maximize your chances is to upload the Swagbucks toolbar to your browser. Happpy Searching!

I love to bake and my children love to help me as much as they can. These cobbler recipes below are great to do with young ones because they are super easy and taste great!

Easy Fruit Cobbler

Ingredients Needed:

1 - box cake mix, 18 oz (any flavor)
2 - 16 oz cans of fruit or pie filling
1 - 12 oz can lemon flavored drink
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 - 9 x 13 inch pan

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Spread the melted butter evenly on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Add fruit to pan (drain juice if it is not pie filling) and spread evenly. Pour cake mix on top and make sure it is evenly spread out, too. Pour can of soda on top. Bake in oven for about 45 min or until slightly golden brown on top. Super easy!

Servings: 10 -12

Other Variations with Soda: Apples, spice cake mix and a can Root Beer (I haven't tried this one, yet, but it is next on my list!)

I made a peach cobbler with this recipe made out of yellow cake mix and peach pie filling. It was quick and simple and the kids were pretty proud of their work. My husband was even surprised at how good it tasted.

As we are chocolate lovers here, we had to cook a chocolate cobbler, too. We made a mini version in a bread pan. I don't need that much temptation around!

Cherry Chocolate Cobbler

Ingredients Needed:

1 or 2 boxes of chocolate cake mix (the more cake mix, the fluffier the top part is)
2 cans cherry pie filling
3/4 cup water
1/2 stick of butter (in small bits or slices)
1 - 9 x 13 inch pan
1 - 12 oz bag of chocolate chips
(optional) carmel squares chopped up and a bag of mini marshmallows.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Spray pan with cooking spray. Pour the 2 cans of pie filling into the bottom of the pan and spread evenly. Add the 2 boxes of cake mix and spread evenly. Now add the water by sprinkling it on top of the cake mix. This will make the cobbler more moist. Add chocolate chips and butter to the top of the cake. Put it in the oven for about 45 minutes. (optional) After 30 minutes in the oven, top with the carmel squares and mini marshmallows. This will make it super rich, but I love it!

Servings: 10 -12

And of course the best part ...
