Then gently fold in the blackberries. Pour the mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining topping evenly over the filling, and bake for 60 minutes. Test with knife, cook till knife comes out clean.

Let cool for 1 hour before cutting into bars, or scoop out of the pan to serve cobbler style.

    Delicious! You could use less sugar and they would still taste delicious. You could probably make less crust and topping to cut calories, but really, sometimes you need to indulge!`` - 8/20/13
