Growing up in central Missouri this was a favorite for all of us grandkids (and still is). Of course, when we were young we called it 'eat cocoa.'

My sisters and I also grew up eating chocolate gravy and homemade drop biscuits! Thank you for posting the recipe, a bit different but the same as my mothers.

This was a fun little dessert I made on a whim. It made a lot of gravy for the 4 mini biscuits, but it was good.

I grew up in OK and had never heard of chocolate gravy and biscuits until after I got married and my husband, raised in southeastern OK, wanted me to make them. I asked him how and he said to make regular milk gravy and add Hershey's Cocoa to it. Needless to say, it was not edible! When we visited his Mama, I asked her how to make it. She said to make cocoa like on the Hershey's can and thicken it with flour. Much better! We've since had many laughs about that regular gravy with cocoa added. But I never developed a taste for chocolate gravy after that first experience.

I also grew up on Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits. My beloved Dad would make it most Saturday mornings. He was from Virginia and his Mom made it for all the kids on cold, frosty mornings to get them out the door for their mile and a half walk to school. Love it. Thanks for stirring up these beautiful memories of the 50's when my Dad was the King of the Kitchen one day a week. :)

I don't particular think it's worth making, Biscuits and chocolate? I would rather have the Biscuits with gravy or butter.... sorry

I'm from the south and had never heard of this until I went to Missouri with my husband. His mom made it for breakfast and I thought it was weird until I tried it. YUMMY!!! You can put a spoon of peanut butter on your plate then pour on the chocolate stir it all around and it taste like a reese cup dip your biscuits in it. Hers was soupy which made it better.

This is awesome but completely different from what I grew up on. I grew up on pancakes with chocolate syrup that was made with just sugar, cocoa and water. Everybody thinks we are crazy because they have never heard of pancakes with chocolate syrup.
