We received this delectable recipe from Travis at BumMarketingMethod.com with a great story…

Now, although he makes this for Christmas morning, it sounds great for delicious treats all year round! Enjoy!

This is my favorite morning of the year! Doesn’t everything just feel cleaner, more peaceful and beautiful this morning?

I l-o-v-e Christmas morning and I wanted to share with you one of my very favorite southern recipes.

Has been in our family…at least 100 years as it was made by my Great Grandmother…who made it for my Dad’s Mother…who made it for my Dad…who…made it for me and my brother and two sisters.

I warn you though…

It is very Southern and when anyone first hears of it they crinkle their nose and say “Eeeew”…

But when they TASTE IT…

The recipe is for a divine “chocolate gravy”…you serve it over piping hot biscuits…for a dessert or for a very special breakfast (like Christmas morning). I tell ya now… that there is absolutely NO FOOD VALUE : )

It is just one of those “guilty pleasures”…

Here it is and I hope you give it a try! It’s really simple:

3 Tablespoons Powdered Cocoa
2 Cups Milk

Mix sugar, flour and cocoa. Then add your milk. Put in
a sauce pan. Heat on a medium to high setting constantly
stirring until your gravy thickens (I like mine really thick).
Once thick then mix in your butter.

Serve over piping hot biscuits and be prepared to be loved and remembered forever : )
