Art's Southern-Style Chocolate Gravy

5 stars all the way, so delicious. I did add vanilla off-heat and since my butter was unsalted I added some salt too. I only make chocolate gravy once every 5 years or so but so worth it every time! Thanks for sharing.

This is very similar to the chocolate gravy that I learned to make from my mother, who learned from her mother. Three generations that i know making this. Only difference is we use some vanilla in it. Sooo yummy over warm, fresh homemade biscuits.

This tasted just like grandma used to make!

This recipe is spot on, and makes a great tasting chocolate gravy! Great on home made biscuits or ice cream.

I used 2% milk instead of whole milk. I mixed the sugar and cocoa well before adding to pan, stirred it together and poured milk in before it solidified. Thickened well, and was ever so delicious. At 58 years old, it was my husbands first time having chocolate gravy, who would have ever thought? Glad I ran across this to remind me of the times past, and bring a taste of those times to my love.

Very easy to follow recipe, turned out exactly as expected. I used it to top pancakes with banana slices, was very yummy.

Oh, wow! This stuff is amazing and even my husband, who could go without sweets (wah? I know) loved it. I did put in some vanilla extract and added a touch of salt. We had it on vanilla ice cream and was really good. Definitely a keeper and will make again! Thanks for sharing with all of us.

as one reviewer said, she had a hard time dissolving the sugar/cocoa mixture without it burning. I burned the first batch, then second time I heated the sugar/cocoa mixture well but didn't try to dissolve it all the way...once I started adding the milk it worked fine and ended up perfectly smooth. it was really good! only used 1/4 cup cocoa but everything else was the same. also a great dip with pretzels!!!

Fond memories of my grandmother making this for me!

Since I used unsalted butter, I threw in some salt; also added vanilla. Pudding like texture. Good.

It is just like the chocolate gravy my mother made. Yummy

I had serious issues getting the sugar to melt in with the roux before the coco powder started burning, even after watching the video, changing pans, changing temperatures, melting through a whisk, etc. I just wasted so much cocoa powder.

My Grandma Roland used to make this for my Mom when she was little. She called it Cocoa Gravy. Mom wasn't fond of it when she grew up, she said Grandma made it for her because they were so poor there wasn't enough money for chocolate and it reminded her of those hard times. I understand how she felt but my brother and I loved it and Mom didn't mind when Grandma made it for us. Grandma also used to make snow ice cream, but only when there was more than one snow. Even Mom loved that.

Very good on pancakes and also on ice cream Thanks jeri.

good on chicken. yummy

My husband grew up with chocolate pudding biscuits. When I saw this recipe I knew it was exactly how his mama made them. He's so happy he could bust. Thank you for resurrecting an old classic used on the farm for when something sweet was wanted and money was tight.

Big hit with the grandkids.

Delicious love it don’t even have to put it on biscuits it’s so good

I grew up eating "Chocolate Syrup and Biscuts". This recipe is close to what Mama made. My kids love it

I know people put this on biscuits but it’s amazing on vanilla ice cream.

This was very different for us and we liked it! I don't know how often I would actually make this as it does remind me more of a dessert than a breakfast item, which is not a bad thing, but this was definitely fun to try. Thanks for sharing. :)

Needed vanilla extract

I did not made changes but I think I would add less sugar next time and a little bit more milk next time.
