This recipe was given to our family by my mom's best friend, Connie Brooks.  Mom made it for all of us kids and has continued to make this special breakfast dish for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  I have also passed this recipe on to many of my friends who are now making it for their grandchildren.  It's a keeper!—Mary
 
The Brooks were the culprits who introduced this dish.—Connie
 
No one could make Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits comparable to Grandma’s. If I was staying the night at Grandma’s I never left without having this for breakfast.—Jacinda
 
Can’t go to Grandma’s without having this.—Natalie
