Although I was born in Arkansas, I lived in the south for only a few “growing up” years. When we moved to Arkansas to build the inn, we soon heard about the southern dish of Chocolate Gravy. In my mind, chocolate and gravy just don’t go together, but our daughters regaled the virtues of this sauce. They love biscuits with chocolate gravy on a lazy Saturday morning. So here’s a true southern delight: Chocolate Gravy. Ladle over your favorite biscuits, homemade or store bought, and enjoy.
Chocolate Gravy is a nice addition to breakfast on Chocolate Covered Wednesdays, featured every Wednesday at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn.
Thank you for sharing! I had this as a boy growing up in Arkansas, too, but it was made by an acquaintance and my mother refused to make it due to its decadence, so I only had it once, but have craved it ever since.
I’m definitely going to give your recipe a try! Thanks again!
So glad it brought back good memories Jason! Please let us know how it turns out when you try it.
can the extra chocolate gravy be stored in the fridge? how long do you think it would stay good in a mason jar? making this for my husband and I and there’ll probably be a lot left over
Courtney, thanks for the question. Yes, you could store it for a couple of days in the fridge. When re-heating it, you’ll need to add a little bit of liquid (milk) or it will be quite thick. My family loves this, and there’s rarely any left.
My Grandma would make this for us and it sure was a treat. When I look back now, she was the treat for us.
