Chocolaty Pear Crumble

Crumbles are one of my favorite winter desserts. This recipe is the perfect combination of dark chocolate, baked pear, and buttery crumble topping. It's the ultimate winter comfort food. Serve with cream, vanilla ice cream, and perhaps a little extra chocolate or some raspberry sauce.
