“Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of 1st September was crisp and golden as an apple.” – J.K Rowling

Fall has always been my favorite season and I am so very ready for all things fall including hot chocolate and pumpkin flavored everything!

I love the flavor combo of chocolate and pumpkin for fall and this new drink creation is perfectly decadent and delicious for enjoying during the cooler weather!

Ava made this recipe and treated us to these delicious drinks.

My girl sure is a chef in the making!

In a medium saucepan add milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and brown sugar.

Heat over medium low and stir until completely combined. 

Bring to a low simmer, stirring often, then add chocolate chips.

Continue to heat and stir until chocolate completely melts.

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.
