RE: Southern Chocolate Gravy
I grew up in Northwest Alabama and this is one of my favorite childhood memories, eating biscuits with chocolate gravy! I haven't thought about this for a long time and very happy to have the recipe! Will make it this weekend!

My family was from the boot-hill of Missouri and Arkansas. My Grandmother would make it and my Aunt Wonda. It was so good. Each time we would visit my Grandmother or my Aunt, they would make chocolate gravy for us. This brings back some many great memories. Thank you for taking me back in time for those great times. Thanks also for the recipe. I have never made it. Now i will try.

This brings back fond memories. When I was 10 we moved to Arkansas, and my aunt always made it. Every time we have a family reunion she makes it for me. Mmm good.

I lived in the South as a child, I now live up North. I have been telling my husband about "Chocolate Gravy," He thought I was crazy, he has never heard of it. I am sooo glad I found this recipe!! I loved it when my mom fixed it on Sunday mornings,it was a real treat! I can't wait to make it for my girls this Sunday! Thank You Ariela!

RE: afrugallady: Southern Chocolate Gravy
Cat head biscuits are an old version of *todays* biscuits. i'm sure
biscuits today are much healthier. My mom used LARD (yes I remember seeing a 2lb box of lard on the counter by the stove.. she even fried eggs in lard!!) I would use oil instead if you make them from scratch. Actualy I use bisquick :) Just add water.. but I add milk
instead and a dab of vinegar. (the vinegar sours the milk and makes it taste like buttermilk biscuits) OR just use Buttermilk instead,even easier. :)

I just couldn't let this go by without commenting. Chocolate gravy brings back memories of my best friend when I was growing up. Sometimes I would spend the night with her on Sat nite and before church on Sunday morning, her mother would make chocolate gravy and homemade biscuits. That was the best ever. I often tried to make it like her but somehow it was never the same. I will try your recipe. I have grandchildren now that I bet would love it. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

I moved to Arkansas from Nebraska with my (first) husband. On the way we stopped in Missouri to see his grandparents. His G-ma made Chocolate Gravy & Biscuits for my first morning in the south. It took my husband quite sometime to convince me that the gravy was GOOOOD.. LOL.
Now living in Nevada, it takes me quite awhile to convince my family and friends that Chocolate Gravy is GOOOOD... :)
Thank You for posting and bringing back fond memories of my first taste of the south.

RE: Southern Chocolate Gravy
I thought our family was the only ones that ate this. My great grandma use to make it for my grandma, she made it for my mom & aunt and my mom made it for me and I make it for my family. We cheat sometimes and use the cook & serve Jello Chocolate pudding but for the most part I make it from scratch. Thank you for posting this and sharing it with people that may have never had such a special treat !!

RE: Southern Chocolate Gravy
I am glad you all enjoy the Chocolate gravy recipe. I am the baby
of a large family (I am 54) I remember being at my Aunts house
who also had a large family and she made this on a weekend
morning when everyone was home. Oh for the taste of those
homemade bisquits seems they just dont taste like that anymore.
My most favorite thing ever is bisquits and gravy made with WHITE
gravy, some call it milk gravy. But then too, we couldnt afford milk
so my mom would use cream, which made it have a richer taste.
I still make it often. I love all the things now that we HAD to eat then.
Ariela.

Chocolate gravy with a large lump of butter and homemade biscuits is the most wonderful thing I have ever eaten.

Oh I forgot to add for an extra special treat I add
a handful of chocolate chips and let them melt into
the chocolate goodness.
We have this about 1or 2 month in winter and my hubby begs for more.

My family has always eaten this since before I wss born. It's just simple chocolate pudding, I wouldn't call it gravy myself. I enjoy it with biscuits and so do my children who will anytime welcome "dessert" like food. Mmmm think I will make some tonite as dessert!

RE: Southern Chocolate Gravy
My husband's family has a farm and this a favorite
treat. We live in Missouri, I came from California and the first few years I would not touch "chocolate
garvy for breakfast' as I called it. Well once I tried it
YUM it was too good. We have it with biscuits.
My husband's favorite winter breakfast.

RE: Southern Chocolate Gravy
It is AWESOME on ice cream. I've also used it as a substitute for icing on a chocolate cake, jsut drizzle it on and some of it soaks in. And I'll fess up, it's really good to sample by the spoonful :) My entire family loves it (if I share with them). Great on pancakes as a special treat and of course biscuits :)
