Chocolate gravy is a true southern classic staple, an old-fashioned recipe that goes perfectly with hot biscuits, pancakes, and more.
I was introduced to this deliciousness by my husband who used to have it made from him by his grandmother when he was a kid.
It is a super simple recipe, with only six ingredients, that has been around for many years.
If you are a chocolate lover then definitely this is one for you. It is great on pancakes but just as good on ice cream, biscuits or whatever else you like to drizzle chocolate on

One of my favorite things my grandma used to make. I have made it a few times, but my daughter makes it all the time.

My husband's grandmother used to make it for him when they would go visit. :) She has since passed so it's a good memory when we have it nowadays.
