Pumpkin-Spiced Hot Chocolate image

As soon as there is a hint of fall in the air, I think of pumpkins and my mother. She served pumpkin pie with real hot chocolate. This recipe brings those two amazing scents, and her, back to life for me. To turn your hot chocolate into creamy pumpkin mocha, stir 2 teaspoons of instant coffee into the hot chocolate before adding whipped cream. It's a great way to warm up after some chilly trick-or-treating! -J. Morand, Maitland, ON

This hot chocolate is the perfect way to warm up on a cold day. It's creamy, chocolatey, and has just the right amount of pumpkin spice flavor.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin spice, but this hot chocolate was still really good. The chocolate flavor was rich and creamy. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

I made this hot chocolate last night and it was delicious! I used dark chocolate chips and it was the perfect sweetness. I also added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to give it a more festive flavor. I will definitely be making this again soon.
