Chocolate gravy

Anybody a fan? My Nana used to make it all the time and I was never interested in trying it until I was around 12 or so. Since then, I can’t get enough of it! I usually make a batch every couple weeks or so using my great great grandmas recipe. I’ve had others but her recipe is the best I’ve had by a long shot

Used to have it as a youngster. Good stuff.

My Grandmother made it every single morning with breakfast. She passed away before i was married but one of my aunts taught my wife to make it. She used to make it occasionally. Been several years since we have had it. It was a staple food growing up on biscuits. I am from the middle TN/North Bama area.

Please post a recipe. Never heard of this.

That looks pretty good. Looks like icing.

Lawdy, ain’t never heard of it

They obviously didn't have microwaves back in my great great gma's day so this one was modified for the microwave

In a 3 qt microwavable bowl-
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flower
1/2 cup hershey coco powder
1/2 cup milk
Mix until smooth
then add 3 1/2 cups of milk and stir
drop 1 stick of butter in

cook in microwave for 8 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or until it becomes gravy consistency
then add 1 tsp of vanilla once done

Thank me later!!

For me, the taste of coffee, toast with butter, eggs and bacon, and the taste of chocolate just do not jive.

Thanks!

Holy blocked arteries Batman! Thanks for sharing.

I take it you've not had chocolate covered bacon then?

A fan of chocolate anything? Yes.

A fan of type 2 diabetes? No.

Not me!

That would amount to "Bacon Blasphemy".

Makes me think of that “2 Girls 1 Cup” video that Davedave liked so much.

Big thing in the South I think. We had a customer in the small town of Sommerville, AL. They were about our age with kids and grandkids. She had been making chocolate gravy for her kids for many years, and even though they were grown, married with kids, they still came by the house every morning for the biscuits and chocolate gravy.

I tried it once, and it was OK, but it made my coffee taste funny.

I was at a wedding with a chocolate fountain kids were dunking their hands in and licking them, over and over. Out....

There used to be a few buffet type restaurants that had those, and after seeing kids do the same thing I never even thought about dining there again.

Truth be told, Covid has killed more chocolate fountains than it has killed people.

I love chocolate, probably above all else, but I do not want/mix it in my foods.

We call that stuff "chocolate."

Blocked arteries are bad, type two diabetes isn’t good either

I had it once homemade in Marrowbone Kentucky. Good stuff.

Same here !!

I always get it when I go to Searcy, Arkansas. I wish I knew some places around here that had it.

Looks like a roux my grandfather used to make.

Cream gravy with sausage and heavily peppered is what I thought the south was all about when we're talking gravy for bisquits.
