Im not sure if Mom used flour or not, she may have because my attempt was just cocoa powder, milk, sugar a little butter, and simmer till it thickens, which takes a while and you have to be careful or you will scorch it.
I tried it one time with HungryJack biscuits and was a bit disappointed. Sometime soon I'll try again but I think im going to use this instead...

Let me know if it's good, please.....I'm betting it will be tasty! As for biscuits, this is a little odd, lol, my mom made delicious homemade biscuits but she preferred the cheap biscuits that came in the green container with her chocolate stuff. I think it was because the cheap ones got crispy on the bottom better. They were good, but so were her homemade! I like the Mary B's frozen biscuits. To me they are perfect in size and fluffiness but also get crispy on the bottom. Some, like Grands, are too fluffy and doughy.
My sister laughed her ass off when I told her about this thread and how I knew someone else that ate chocolate gravy.
She really doesn't understand forums like this and threads. (she barely knows how to turn her pc on) anyway the first thing she asked was "where are they from? Has to be the south....lol".Have you ever heard of making the chocolate stuff with water instead of milk? My aunt made it with water and it was good but more like hot, thin icing

We would ride inflated truck tubes down hills, and eat copious amounts of chili and drink hot chocolate, while the adults had stiffer beverages and laugh as we bounced off the surfaces of the Earth and yet somehow survived.Have you ever eaten Poke Sallet picked from the ditch banks?
As a kid, growing up on the Salmon River in Salmon, Idaho, I loved fresh Salmon for breakfast, with fried morel mushrooms. We can occasionally get a side of salmon that is decent, but the mushrooms are a distant memory.
As a kid, my Mom made fried mush for breakfast, and I have adopted her recipe, which must be made the night before and refrigerated, before frying.
As a kid, I loved venison. Venison steaks, venison jerky, pemmican made from venison and stored away in little kid pockets to fortify oneself on my daily journeys into the unknown. Sadly, there is no venison in my world today, and probably none in the future.
As a kid I loved fresh peas. Nothing better, except maybe fresh asparagus picked off the ditchbanks. Neither are present in my current world.
At school, I loved the dried out spaghetti which was ever present in our world. I wish I could replicate that semi-crusty spaghetti, and have tried to no avail many times to replicate it.
I grew up eating fried bologna. I still love it. It is the same substances as hot dogs, just flattened out.
I grew up eating homemade jerky. We carried it and pemmican around when we were on our journeys. I still make that as my in between meals snack. It is good stuff.
