Every fall the Pumpkin Spice switch turns on! Since it’s chilly outside, the yearning for hot chocolate switches on too. Let’s satisfy two cravings at once with a Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate recipe.
This recipe is for a regular hot chocolate with the pumpkin spice touch.
If you want, you can substitute white chocolate chips for the cocoa, and use less pumpkin puree for a white pumpkin spice hot chocolate.

- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp maple syrup ((or 1 Tbsp sugar))
