Mom's Chocolate Gravy
By: Redneck Epicurean
Oct 24, 2005
When Mom and Pop got married, Pop had to call Mamaw to get this recipe. When he was growing up, they were really poor (Papaw was a Baptist preacher and worked at various jobs. Back then life was hard for a preacher with 4 kids). This was one of their "desserts". Mom also made this when we were growing up and to this day, I still love a big hot heapin helpin. One might ask how do you eat "chocolate gravy"? With homemade "cat-head" biscuits (Mamaw called them this because she made them "big as a cat's head"
or canned country-style (Do not try this with one of those flaky-type canned biscuits - it just isn't the same.) and a chunk of butter about the size of the tip of your thumb. Let it kinda melt, then eat away. This is just like any other gravy, other than the addition of the butter at the table. I eat this with milk or coffee as the beverage, as nothing else tastes good. This is Redneck comfort food at its finest! **Times and yield are approximate. Please z-mail me with what you come up with.**
SERVES 6 , 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar or Splenda sugar substitute
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (we prefer Hershey's)
Directions
1
Mix all the dry ingredients in a heavy saucepan with a whisk. Using a whisk blends everything better than a spoon. Stir in the milk.2
Cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Remove the pot when the mixture is thick like pudding.3
Add the butter. Stir in until completely melted. Serve over biscuits with a teaspoon of butter dolloped on top.

Wow! I just thought I would go ahead and say how EASY and AWESOME this recipe is! You see, I'm 16 and my brother is 18 and naturally during the summer, our parents are at work. We're left to fend for ourselves when it comes to eating, so it's usually ramen noodles or easy mac or something. But whenever we're in the mood, my brother and I cook some eggs or something. Today I was feeling the chocolate gravy so I looked up a quick recipe online and I was shocked at how easy and delicious it was! Thanks a bunch, I just had the best meal of my summer days without having good ol' mom to cook :]

I haven't thought of or had this in thirty years. WHen I saw it it reminded me of my childhood. After three days of craving and thinking about nothing else... I made it in a moment of weakness. Just like I remember Granny's from when I was a kid. It won't be another thirty years before I make again. Thanks for the memory.
