Southern Style Chocolate Gravy

Say it with me: 'choccoooolaaaaateeeeeee'.  Not that I'm a big chocolate fan, or anything....okay that was a lie!  I love chocolate!  It is so yummie and scrumptious!  At the time, we'd been on our healthy eating for about a month, so chocolate withdrawals were pretty evident on our faces at the kitchen table.  The love and adoration when I served this on biscuits was worth the wait!  This recipe is very easy to make!
