Chocolate cobbler
Ingredients

* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt butter in an 8x8 inch baking dish while the oven preheats.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth. Spoon this batter over the melted butter in the baking dish.
3. Stir together the remaining cup of sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle over the batter. Slowly pour boiling water over the top of the mixture.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until set. Serve slightly warm with ice cream.


Roger's Supermarket has a package already to be baked. I haven't tried it yet, but I hope too!


Chocolate Gravy
1/2-3/4 cup granulated sugar (to taste)
1/3 cup Hershey's cocoa
7 tablespoons flour (or Wondra)
1 cup milk
1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, egg and a bit of the milk in a separate bowl. Set aside.

In a pan sprayed with Pam, heat the milk until warm. Turn on medium heat. Transfer the flour and egg mixture to the saucepan.

Keep stirring as it thickens, so it won't stick or burn; reduce heat as necessary.

When it reaches a pudding-like consistency, remove from heat.

Stir in vanilla.

Gravy thickens slightly when removed from heat.

This is best prepared using an electric mixer or hand blender to help avoid any lumps.

Yummy with biscuits!
