Chocolate for breakfast? Oh yes!

Are you one of those people who thinks you have to sneak last-night's desserts to eat chocolate for breakfast? Did you rejoice when the cereal "Cookie Crisp" came on the market? Well, I have a recipe for you. With this simple Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy recipe, you can have chocolate syrup all over your breakfast and be proud of it!

My mother-in-law is known far and wide for spreading the chocolatey goodness of this recipe to all those who set foot in her home, and as a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, she knows how to make a recipe user-friendly. With high school kids, you can imagine all of the interesting recipe interpretations that she has seen in her days. So I am pleased to submit for mass consumption, Debbie Varga's famous, outstanding, Chocolate Biscuits and Gravy Recipe.

Basic Idea: Bake a roll of buttermilk biscuits (Pillsbury works) according to the package and drizzle chocolate gravy (recipe below) over top. Enjoy!

Chocolate Gravy

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup cocoa

1/4 cup water

3/4 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

1 Tbsp. margarine

Thoroughly combine dry ingredients in saucepan. Boil water in microwave (usually takes around 30-40 seconds). Add to dry mixture, stir to make a paste. Add milk (may be warmed in the microwave for one minute). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. When mixture thickens, stir in vanilla and margarine. If too thick, add more milk, a little at a time. Serve over biscuits. Makes enough for one tube of biscuits. Can be doubled or tripled.

Now you know why I spend every holiday with a belly full of Chocolate Gravy.
