How to Cook "Grandma's Cocoa Gravy"

When I was a child, my grandma would make cocoa gravy for us grandkids when we would visit her in the Ozarks. Now cocoa gravy was for breakfast, and we would eat it with biscuits and fried deer meat, or bacon. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

My grandparents were hill people through and through! Grandma had alot of good old time recipes, and this one was passed down to her. I will share it with you, and I hope you enjoy it!

Cocoa Gravy

4 heaping Tablespoons dry cocoa.
3 tablespoons flour
2 / 3 cup granulated sugar

4 cans of condensed milk, canned
1 tablespoon butter

Mix together the dry ingredients in a large frying pan. Mix well. Turn the burner on the stove to medium and begin adding the condensed milk, stirring with a whisk. Mix well and start over medium heat until the mixture to a boil. The heat and stir well until for 4 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes and stir with a spoonbutter.

This is a very old recipe. You can change the ingredients some what to suit your own taste buds. You can also use Splenda or another artificial sweetener to make it sugar free. The butter is optional also. Again, it is best eaten with biscuits of your choice and butter. Meat such as bacon, sausage, fried deer meat, and even fried chicken goes well with this dish. This recipe is difficult to come by, so guard it well.
