Got blackberries? Then this is the recipe to try! These blackberry cobbler pie bars came to life after we went blackberry picking. We picked almost 12 pounds of blackberries at Mood’s Farm Market in Mullica Hill, NJ. I knew I needed to come up with something! This recipe is super easy and crazy delicious.
