DH kept talking about chocolate gravy, and even though it sounded weird and kind of gross to me, I found a recipe and made some for him awhile back.
It's good.
A little TOO good! :shock: :mrgreen: :thumbup:

I think that gravy is the only thing I haven't tried with chocolate! I am a proud "Chocoholic". I am the only one in my family that will ever eat this and you know what that means.......
More for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, my husband and his siblings grew up on chocolate and biscuits. Out of all my MIL's kids/spouses, I'm the only one that makes it. I used to make on Sunday mornings, but since the kids are grown and gone, I don't make it very often. This is her recipe:
1 cup sugar
3 tlbs cocoa
2 tlbs flour
2 cups milk
mix dry ingredients until well blended and no flour or cocoa lumps, add milk and cook over med heat, stirring constantly until it reaches pudding consistency. Pour over hot biscuits.
We have video of our granddaughter eating chocolate and biscuits for the first time.
I thought our family was the only ones who ever ate this stuff.

I think you ate in the wrong restaurant. I live in Tennessee and have never encountered, anemic looking cornbread, in a restaurant. I must admit we do not put sugar in cornbread, we call that cake. (LOL)

When I was growing up we always had a special breakfast on Sunday mornings. Mom would make biscuits, chocolate gravy, hash browns, bacon or ham, and scrambled eggs. That's a comfort breakfast. Years later I was visiting my sister and we got to talking about those special Sunday breakfasts and decided to make it the next morning. Of course, we had never got the recipe for Mom....so Bobbie was in charge of finding it on the internet. The next morning we woke up bright and early to prepare our breakfast. Both our husbands were skeptical about the Chocolate Gravy. We almost had a disaster when Bobbie thought she was out of cocoa.......do you think either husband would voluteer to go to the store for cocoa? Not them.....they didn't even like the sound of hot chocolate pudding on their biscuits...according to them. The day was saved when Bobbie found the cocoa. After all was prepared we sat and feasted on our special Sunday breakfast and giggled just like we did when we was kids.

Lol :) Just goes to show the different taste and ways to make food in various parts of the country. It's what we're used to eating I guess. :)
