Is it possible your Mom just made a basic bread pudding and used the biscuits instead of bread? I have seen several biscuit pudding recipes that are served with a chocolate sauce, but none with the chocolate in them.

It's such a shame these old recipes get lost. My Dad was raised in the Missouri Ozarks and I think the version he grew up with is called Chocolate Gravy and served over biscuits. I did a search and found a biscuit pudding recipe that I wondered if you could just add cocoa and come up with something close. Of course, it isn't your mother's recipe, but perhaps you can experiment a little.

I am also posting a recipe for chocolate gravy. Good luck in your search and if you find one, please share, perhaps we can save some of these recipes from oblivion.

BISCUIT PUDDING

6 to 8 homemade biscuits
2 tbs. vanilla
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1 1/2 tbs. margarine

Crumble biscuits well. In large bowl, pour milk just to cover biscuits. Soak, covered, in refrigerator overnight.
Next day, melt margarine in a large cast iron skillet ina 350 ° oven. Mix all other ingredients with soaked biscuits;beat well with spoon. Pour into skillet with melted margarine.
Bake approximately 1 hour until golden brown and firm in center. Serve warm or cold. Cover leftovers and store in
refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE GRAVY

3 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla

Mix together cocoa, sugar, and flour. Add the milk slowly, whisking well until no lumps remain.
Place over medium heat and stir constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla and stir until butter is melted. Serve hot over buttered biscuits.
