The chocolate gravy my friends in Arkansas made was like regular gravy with cocoa added. Some people added a small amount of sugar, some didn't. It was good, but more like gravy then pudding..... :-D

Sounds bizarre, but that chocolate gravy was one of the best things to ever hit my tongue. I never thought to ask her how she made it, nor do I have anyway of finding that long-lost friend, so I guess unless one of you has some idea, I will just remember it fondly. The worst thing ever served to me, was NOT what I thought I had ordered in a restaurant. I wanted Chili and corn bread. This is one of my favorite combos. Never order it in Tennessee. Evidently in Tennessee, what we call cornbread doesn't exist. (You know, that bright yellow, cake looking corn bread.) In some parts of the south, they serve what I always saw as "Hoecakes". In this restaurant, it was made with white corn meal. Imagine a damp, anemic looking pancake that has NO color. Ewwwe! :thumbdown:

Sorry I don't have the gravy recipe to give but i do have a carnbread recipe i have been making for 40+ years

I cup yellow corn meal, I heaping TablespoonFlour,
I /2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 egg 1&1/4 cups buttermilk, 1Tablespoon oil.

Mix dry ingredients together.Mix well. The add the wet ingredients along with the eeg beaten. Mix well and pour into cast Iron pan That has been sprayed with a oil and that has been heated to 350
bake @350 for 20 min.
I hope you like this as much as my family and friends have over the years.
