Donna Treat's Hillbilly Chocolate Gravy And Biscuits

First, prepare your biscuits. For most bachelors, this will mean opening a can of biscuit dough with a fork on the seam and putting them, pre-cut, on a cookie sheet.

Now, while the biscuits are baking, bring the milk to a near boil in a pot and then add the flour, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and salt and stir continuously with a whisk until thick. Then add the butter and whip to make the gravy smooth and creamy. Depending on the heat of your oven, more milk may be needed. It should have the consistency of gravy - not too thick, like a brownie, nor too runny, like soup.

When the biscuits are done, open one in half, slather peanut butter on them, and dip the gravy over the biscuits.

The peanut butter may be a bit too rich for some folks; I like to do one half of a biscuit with peanut butter and leave the other plain. Anyhoo, it's darn good and quickly filling, and nothing like my experience with the bargain bin cookbook recipe. This is the kind of thing you make in the morning to make lasting impressions on people and your tummy.
