My Granny who is from Kentucky made this for us when we would go visit. When I started making this for my boys they turned their nose up because of the name “gravy”! My brother started calling it Chocolate Goodness so all the kids would eat! It worked!! Although to me..it will always be chocolate gravy! LOVE IT!! Along with all the memories of Granny standing at the stove cooking it!

My married daughter still begs for this…. my CHEATING secret?

Use 1 box instant & 1 box slow cook CHOCOLATE PUDDING with milk (amount on pudding box) warm on stove (stirring) and there’s virtually no measuring & no MESS!!

PS–

I cook mine in the microwave–stir it every two minutes, and it’s done in 6-8 minutes. No standing over the stove stirring stirring…

Christy, I am so glad I came across this. I know it’s an old post, but I’m happy to find it nonetheless.

This was a favorite of us grandkids at my Gramma’s house. She would fix breakfast for the adults, then would ask us what we wanted, and of course, it was chocolate ‘n biscuits–and she already had it done and waiting on the stove for us. We would eat it w/ fresh cow’s cream poured over top–yummmmm!

I wrote a cookbook author last year, as I had read her book that she had spent four years researching all over the south, and I was curious if she had come across this recipe in all her travels, and she said no! I sent her my recipe, and she asked on her website, as well as asked around, and she posted the recipe she liked best, (which wasn’t mine! ). I reckoned that maybe folks were a little embarrassed to admit that they like to pour chocolate gravy over a biscuit–some have asked me in shock–”You feed that to your children for breakfast?!” To me, it’s no different than a pop-tart.

Anyway, I’m thrilled to be a Southerner, and even more proud to be a Southern cook–chocolate ‘n biscuits and all! Love your blog, your recipes, and the Southern charm!!

Thanks!

Just a little tweak to your recipe, this what I grew up eating in eastern Oklahoma for breakfast, so try this;
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Mix dry ingredients well and add
1 1/2 cup milk
Cook over medium heat in thick bottomed sause pan until it thickens, about 10 or 15 minutes, I use a wire wisk, it will get very thick. Remove from heat.
Then add 1/2 to 1 stick of butter or margarine and 1 tsp vanilla.
Them spoon it over drop biscuits made from boxed biscuit mix.

Ah-h-h-hh to bring back the old memories….when my husband and I got married we could barely afford the license, and as time and children came along things didn’t get nay better, but you could always depend on a good day when we had homemade biscuits and chocolate gravy! Good sausage gravy was fine for a solid work day breakfast (and some times supper!!) but chocolate gravy ment we were having a ’special’ occassion! Thanks for the memories! I think for Saturday morning breakfast, I’ll make him a batch of homemade biscuits and chocolate gravy.

Hi Christy,
My grandmother (from Athens) made this all the time for us although we called it cocoa and I have a cousin who calls it “soppin’ chocolate”! Now that’s country! My grandmother made homemade biscuits but my mother mostly made it with canned biscuits. When I made some recently on a camping trip with homemade biscuits, my brothers all loved it but we agreed that it felt like it ought to be eaten with canned biscuits! LOL! My aunt recently showed me your articles in the News Courier (She showed me a recipe for peach fried pies that were made just like my grandmother’s YUM!) and we found the website through that article. I can see I’ll be checking it out regularly!
Thanks.

I found your website from a couponing site, so glad I did! I’m born and raised in KY and had never even heard of chocolate gravy ’till I entered my husband’s family many years ago. MIL makes it whenever we are all together. I still find it odd and more dessert like, but it sure is good thanks for the post, it brought a smile to my face. Your website looks great!
