Directions
Mom’s Chocolate Gravy,When Mom and Pop got married, Pop had to call Mamaw to get this recipe. When he was growing up, they were really poor (Papaw was a Baptist preacher and worked at various jobs. Back then life was hard for a preacher with 4 kids). This was one of their “desserts”. Mom also made this when we were growing up and to this day, I still love a big hot heapin helpin. One might ask how do you eat “chocolate gravy”? With homemade “cat-head” biscuits (Mamaw called them this because she made them “big as a cat’s head”) or canned country-style (Do not try this with one of those flaky-type canned biscuits – it just isn’t the same.) and a chunk of butter about the size of the tip of your thumb. Let it kinda melt, then eat away. This is just like any other gravy, other than the addition of the butter at the table. I eat this with milk or coffee as the beverage, as nothing else tastes good. This is Redneck comfort food at its finest! **Times and yield are approximate. Please z-mail me with what you come up with.**,Reminds me of my grandmothers recipe, delicious. The gravy is a wonderful addition to the catheads. My grandfather told me his mother, who was born in 1872, said the reason the biscuits are called cat heads is, back in the day, male cats were not neutered and male cats will have seriously large heads because of the hormones if they aren’t snipped.,Delicious!! My Mama passed a couple of years ago and i don’t think I’ve made chocolate gravy since. I couldn’t recall the exact ratio of ingredients and these were great! I did double the butter though and Mama always put hers in after she set it off the stove eye. Also, after the dry ingredients are mixed, use the back of a spoon to smooth the cocoaand floor lumps, add a little hot tap water & mix to wet all ingredients before adding milk- just like Mama use to. My daughter has been begging me to make it. I’m so glad I found your great recipe! Thank you for sharing!!
