How could I refuse when my little boy woke up & said he wanted cornbread. Immediately I thought yes! Momma’s been gone for over a week & I gotta bake with my sweet boy!

Then simultaneously we both said chocolate. So, Chocolate Chip Skillet Cornbread was our combined baking effort. Oh was it fun!

  1. I just made this and it was a huge hit! Great texture, wonderful crust. I preheated my toaster oven to 425 and put the skillet in to get hot. Once I poured the batter in, there was a very fun and crust-forming sizzle. I baked for about 25 minutes in a 9″ cast iron skillet. Will make again soon. I omitted the chocolate chips on top and I substituted maple syrup for the honey
