Will someone please explain this chocolate gravy???

microwave a jar of Nutella and pour it on a biscuit?

Not NO, but llhe NO! I like Nutella but no way it could ever come close to being a stand in for real chocolate gravy. Satan, that was just evil!

Here's how to make the good stuff.

Melt a stick of butter in a skillet. Stir in 4 to 5 tbl.of flour and 2 tbl. cocoa to make a rue (?). Then add 3 cups of milk and stir it up good. Then add 3/4 to 1 cup of sugar. Use a whisk and stir constantly until it thickens like regular cream gravy. Eat immediately over some Mary B's biscuits right out of the oven.

Nuked Nutella! I swear!

My mom was the best cook and the food I miss the most is her home made pies with the crust that stood up without needing a pie plate to sit in.

mothers are supposed to cook?

My thoughts. My mom could heat things up, but cooking was not her forte.

to be perfectly honest i can't decide which was the best. i can't remember my momma fixing anything that wasn't absolutely delicious.
