Pumpkin Hot Chocolate

There’s nothing that I enjoy more than sitting at home in my cozy pajamas on my comfy couch. Drinking a warm beverage on a chilly fall evening reading a good book or watching a movie. This is one of my favorite parts about living in New England and being able to enjoy all four seasons. I enjoy it even more when the hot beverage is a cup of hot chocolate. I am an absolute chocoholic so there’s no surprise that my go to hot drink in the cold seasons is hot chocolate.

Bring this fall season to a whole other level with this warm, creamy and comforting Pumpkin Hot Chocolate. It is so chocolaty, made with real pumpkin puree, and all the spices that make up pumpkin spice. Make a cup of this creamy and rich Pumpkin Hot Chocolate to get cozy and warm with this season.
