Chocolate Pecan Cobbler


2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 cup sugar (separated)
1 cup milk and 3/4 cup milk (separated)
1/4 cup cocoa
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped nuts
glaze, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place butter into a 9 x 13 x 2 baking dish.  Place in oven while preheating allowing butter to melt.  Mix flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 cup of milk until well blended.  Pour over melted butter.  Mix 1 cup sugar and cocoa.  Sprinkle evenly over flour batter.  Mix 3/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup water.  Pour over sugar/cocoa mix.  Sprinkle with nuts.  Bake 60 minutes.  After about 30 minutes lay a sheet of foil over mix to slow down browning.  Drizzle with glaze, optional.  Serves 8-10.  This dish is VERY rich and sweet.  You can also serve it with ice cream while hot.
