Rhubarb Cobbler
"This is a very easy to make biscuit cobbler with great taste and a beautiful color. The Macadamia topping makes for a great added texture. It’s best served warm with ice cream or whipped topping. It microwaves well for only 20 seconds."

What a great dessert using rhubarb! I'm always looking for rhubarb recipes because my family loves it. Using the refrigerated biscuits made this recipe so simple, too. The macadamia nuts made the topping perfect with a wonderful crunch to it. It was hard to stop eating. -
I couldn't find a 10 oz, 8 ct tube of biscuits, only 12 oz, 10 ct or 16.3 oz, 8 ct. I used the smaller of the two and after pressing the biscuits into the pan had one extra leftover (which I ended up just baking after the cobbler was done). The only thing I changed was almonds instead of macadamia nuts. Once baked, when I scooped out a serving while still warm, all of the juices ran out to fill up the hole (the gelatin didn't set up until after refrigeration). The taste was very nice but the rhubarb was still pretty crunchy (even though I had cut it up pretty small) - and I was afraid to leave it in any longer as the biscuit crust was getting extremely brown. This was an interesting recipe to try but I don't know that I'll make it again without serious changes to the bake time or precooking the rhubarb slightly. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest! -
Delightful! My only regret with this tasty treat was that I forgot to buy whipped cream for the top forcing us to eat it topless, but even topless we ate every last bite. We liked the mild nutty flavors of the almond extract and macadamia nuts, found the recipe could be halfed quite nicely (baked in a 8 x 4 Pyrex loaf pan). This cobbler boasts great color and texture making it a very pretty dessert. Thanks for the post and good luck in the contest.
