Brilliant Chocolate Gravy

"My kids love this stuff for a breakfast treat. My husband thinks it's better as a dessert, after his eggs and bacon, LOL. This recipe is posted for Newspapergal. I found it in an old church cookbook, the original recipe provided by a dear friend of my aunt's. This is to be served over hot, buttered biscuits-an extra yummy treat for the kids, little and big ones alike!"

  1. My mom used to make something like this when we ran out of maple pancake syrup. Buttering up a couple of warm pancakes and pouring a chocolate gravy or syrup over them has always been one of my all-time breakfast treats. I have to admit, I will cheat sometimes and use both chocolate and maple over pancakes. Your kids will love it - but make sure they will be running off the sugar high outdoors or at a neighbor's house! Lol!
     
  2. We grew up eating chocolate gravy for breakfast occasionally. I still make it for my family, on special occasions. Although I use less flour and sugar and add butter after it has thickened. We also break our buscuits up into a bowl and generously pour the gravy over the buscuits. YUM! It certainly would get us youngsters outta bed , did my children as well. Nice to see others enjoy chocolate gravy since we were the only family I knew who made it. It has become a passed down tradition in our family.
     
  3. Very tasty, although next time I'll add more chocolate powder; also added butter with the vanilla.
     
  4. I made half the recipe, and it was delicious on the hot biscuits. I had some leftover so later I spooned it on a slice of pound cake after dinner. Both were a real treat. Thanks Lori! Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09.
     
  5. Excellent...just like eating warm chocolate pie!

Hey there! I am the wife of my dh, Steve, to whom I've been married a very short 12yrs. I am also the SAHM of three boys (11yo and 4yo at home, 23yo on his own). My middle insists that you know he is #57 in the picture, the first player facing you. LOL I graduated from Ball State University with a BS in Pre-Professional Psychology, which I get use of here at home frequently. I enjoy entering local bakeoffs and contests, creating handmade cards and am active in my local MOPS group. I have a extensive collection of cookbooks, but have found that Zaar has taken care of my appetite for any hands on cookbooks. I just love to bake, especially for the high school football team here during the fall. It is my favorite time of the year......sweaters, bonfires, leaves, pumpkins, caramel apples, football, all the stuff about fall is fun! Thanks for checking out my "about me" page and I look forward to seeing you around on the boards. <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2022779&c=6068650" alt="web site hit tracking"></a><a href="http://www.4officecoupons.com/staples-coupons.html">Staples Office</a> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
