How To Make Quick Drop Biscuits And Chocolate Gravy

Introduction:  One of my favorite childhood memories was going to Grandma's house to spend the night. It was difficult for my brother and I to go to sleep, knowing what Grandma would be cooking us for breakfast. We would wake up to the smell of homemade biscuits in the oven. Grandma would make us chocolate gravy to go with the biscuits. My brother liked to slop up the gravy with his biscuit, while I preferred to break open my biscuit and dribble the gravy on top.  Recipes have come a long way since Grandma's day, but just as good today, as I have carried on the tradition of this tasty treat with my own grandchildren without spending so much time preparing it.  Enjoy!!
