Chocolate gravy and biscuits are an awesome sweet treat in the morning that the whole family can enjoy. Serve it up as breakfast or as a dessert and watch how fast everyone licks their plates clean!
Growing up in Washington state, I didn't get to enjoy this breakfast until I was 28 years old and stumbled upon it online by accident. Since then it has become an instant favorite with the kids (and myself).
While it is a sweeter option for breakfast foods, I actually feel it isn't nearly as overwhelmingly sweet as cinnamon rolls, cereal, or other breakfast options.
Honestly, if I could relate it to anything I'd say it actually tastes like a warm chocolate pudding over biscuits. Of course, I've also toned down the sugar a tad and made the recipe my own overtime so it could simply be myself thinking this haha.
It's a super simple and easy to make southern chocolate gravy recipe, and even easier when you cheat and use canned biscuits like I do! By the time that the warm biscuits are out of the oven, the gravy is ready!

🍴 Recipe Tips
Unlike other gravies and sauces, this one doesn't start with the butter. The butter is added last in a step known as "mounting the butter." It adds a nice luxurious effect, a pretty shine, and depth of richness.
Keeping this gravy from getting chunky is the trick. As it cools, it forms a skin on the top like any homemade pudding would. Not only that but the ingredients in the pot don't always dissolve. If you want it smoother, you can sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl before adding to the pot.
