When I was a kid my mom used to make this chocolate gravy, she'd pour it on top of bread and serve it for breakfast whenever we had a big test at school to keep us up and running with all the sugar. I hadn't had it in a long time so I decided now that I'm on my own I would try to make this chocolate gravy.I looked it up and had no idea it was originally served on biscuits and is an old-time country breakfast food.Who knew!It came out perfectly so I thought I would share the recipe that my mother gave me with all of you and ask if any of you have every tried it? Chocolate Gravy 1/3 cup granulated sugar 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder (I prefer Hersheys) 1 Tbsp. & 1 tsp. all purpose flour ( I didnt have any I substituted with bisquick pancake mix and it was fine) 1 pinch of salt 1 cup & 2 Tbsp. milk 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter Melt butter in medium sized pot on medium-high heat.Mix cocoa powder,salt,sugar,flour.Place it into the pot on.Add milk slowly while whisking into cocoa mixture.Cook and stir gravy until it comes to a boil scraping te bottom and sides occasionally (Keep a steady eye on gravy).When the gravy boils reduce heat so a low boil is maintained. Boil until desired consistency (typically about 4 minutes) pour over biscuits or bread.Blow on your first bite and ENJOY!

Hi. Lissaboo. Welcome to myLot! I have never had chocolate gravy for breakfast at all before. Especially not on biscuits. I have added apple or grape jelly onto my biscuits. This is very yummy! The chocolate gravy that your mom made for breakfast, reminds me of Nutella. I will have to keep this recipe in mind, because this sounds very delicious.

Was looking for a chocolate gravy recipe and found this discussion, so thank you! My mom used to make it for us growing up but I've never tried it...this is going to change! We are iced in this weekend. I made homemade biscuits with bacon and gravy this morning. We had several biscuits left over, so this will be a great way to finish them up tomorrow morning!

Where my ex's dad comes from, chocolate gravy is a dark savory gravy made with bacon and sausage drippings. It's very dark, very rich and very delicious.
