Chocolate + Gravy = How Can You Go Wrong?

When Husband Tweeted/Facebooked about our Pre-Christmas dinner and our new traditional Christmas Day breakfast (as in this is the first time I’ve made it for Christmas Day breakfast, and Husband declared it a tradition), I didn’t realize it would cause such a stir. Apparently a few things I’d assumed were southern staples seemed quite exotic.

But they’re so yummy. So I decided to share with ya’ll. Well, not literally. Because it’s all gone. But you know what I mean.

One night for dinner, we had Chicken & Waffles. I must admit, it’s not something I ate growing up, but Husband and I love it. And I totally do it the lazy way. I don’t have a waffle iron anymore (it died), so I use frozen waffles (Gasp!) and I don’t fry my own chicken. And we prefer white gravy as opposed to butter and syrup. But it’s still. so. good.

Of the Christmas Day breakfast, I have no pictures. I was unaware I would need to document the deliciousness, so you’ll have to use your imagination. We had Eggs and Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy.

Again, I was unaware that Chocolate Gravy was so exotic. But ya’ll, it is so good! And it’s good for more than just biscuits. If it could use some warm chocolate goodness, pour it on!

Chocolate Gravy

2 cups milk

3/4 cup sugar

2 Tbsp cocoa

2 heaping Tbsp flour

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla

Heat milk in saucepan over med-low heat. In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Slowly whisk in enough milk to make a thick sauce. Pour into the warm milk in the saucepan. Stir constantly over med heat until thickened. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla, stir until incorporated. Serve warm over anything that needs chocolate.

I realize those things are neither healthy nor low calorie. And that might interfere with some of your New Year’s Resolutions. But I could no longer withhold the goodness. Try it and let me know what you think!
