I like to sprinkle on a bit more pumpkin pie spice (or you could use cinnamon sugar)
on top and even add a cinnamon stick for a festive addition.

Happy Pumpkin Season!
Such a simple and delicious recipe for pumpkin hot chocolate. Looking forward to more chilly nights around the firepit to serve this drink – so warm and comforting. I would not have thought to combine pumpkin and chocolate – but the combo is really special.
Simple and amazing recipe for cold nights. I love hot chocolate but addition of pumpkin makes it more delicious.
I love the sound of a pumpkin spice hot chocolate although it’s not something I’ve found yet here in the UK.
