I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but this recipe sounds interesting. I might try it with a different type of chocolate, like white chocolate or dark chocolate.

This recipe brings back fond memories of my childhood. My grandmother used to make chocolate gravy all the time. I can't wait to try this recipe and recreate those memories.

This chocolate gravy is the perfect topping for ice cream, pancakes, or waffles. It's also great as a dip for fruit or cookies.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The gravy was too thin and didn't have much flavor. I won't be making it again.

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used unsweetened cocoa powder instead of chocolate syrup, and I added a pinch of salt. It turned out great!

I've never had chocolate gravy before, but I'm glad I tried this recipe. It's rich and decadent, but not too sweet. I'll definitely be making it again.
