Perhaps the words chocolate and gravy seem like an odd pairing to you, but not all gravy is made from meat drippings and served atop mashed potatoes and roasted meats. Rather, the term "Gravy" Is used to denote any roux-thickened sauce made in a skillet. Gravy can be either savory or sweet. The origin story of chocolate gravy is a bit mystical, as there seems to be no exact history to point to other than it likely comes from the american south, specifically the ozark and appalachian regions. This rich sauce is served across the region for both breakfast and desert. Use it to top buttermilk biscuits, pound cake, strawberries, and even sweet scones, it's a definite crowd-pleaser.
