I have never heard of this but would like to try it. I assume that “cocoa” means unsweetened, powdered cocoa. Is that correct?
Paula says
Yes, it is.

Growing up we would go visit my aunt and uncle. She would treat us with chocolate gravy and biscuits for breakfast. I had forgotten about it until your post. I can’t wait to introduce this to my kids!
Paula says
I had always heard about it growing up but my family didn’t make it. My husband did and now it’s our Saturday breakfast every week. 🙂
DeeDee Bolander says
My mother in law use to make this….she had 5 hungry boys to feed!
I mix the dry ingredients together with a pinch of salt…then add enough
water, stirring to the right consistancey for gravy while cooking. Then I add
the butter and vanilla at the end…..no lumps.
Paula Jones says
Christina, I hope you like it. We usually have it every Saturday, but missed today so we'll be having it as well tomorrow! enjoy!

I found you at Michelle's Tasty Creations and thought I would leave you comment. My sister-in-law brags all the time about making chocolate gravy….I'm going to give your recipe a try and then rub it into my sister-in-law. “Ha, I made chocolate gravy!” I'm Angie, by the way, over at A'lil Country Sugar. http://www.alilcountrysugar.blogspot.com
