Southern Chocolate Gravy

"Chocolate gravy is a classic Southern treat! Served over warm buttermilk biscuits for breakfast, or drizzled on pound cake and ice cream for dessert, this easy recipe has been delighting both kids and adults for generations. Best of all, it only requires a handful of basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen — and it’s ready in about 15 minutes! Not all gravy recipes start with a savory base of meat drippings! Instead, the term “chocolate gravy” comes from an old Southern practice of using the word “gravy” to describe any roux-thickened sauce made in a skillet, whether sweet or savory. This rich, buttery, chocolate sauce (also called “soppin’ chocolate”) dates back generations, and is most commonly served over hot biscuits."
