This time of year pumpkin is everywhere so I break out my stash fall and pumpkin recipes! This is one of my husband's favorites, he drinks hot chocolate as much as I do coffee and he loves pumpkin pie, so why not put the two together for him? But be warned this doesn't work great for everything! Putting tuna and frosting together, or chicken soup and Oreos together YUCK! Need I go on? This pumpkin hot chocolate recipe just works.

I won't lie I do like my pumpkin spice items. While I'm not a pumpkin spice latte fan (yeah crazy I know!) I do like my Pumpkin Roll Recipe With Cream Cheese Filling and my How to Make Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe.
If you find me drinking anything pumpkin it's most likely a Pumpkin Martini Recipe.
Hubby is big on his Pumpkin Beer Bread and this Drunken Pumpkin Soup he won't admit it but I think he waits all year for me to make them.
Now let's not forget about all things apple-related this time of year! We love our Traditional Dutch Apple Pie and this Cinnamon Apple Spice Beer Bread. We shared 25 Delicious Apple Dessert Recipes that work along with anything pumpkin spice too!

Pinning! I love seeing pumpkin recipes this time of year. I like that this recipe is for a quick single serving drink I can make for a weekend afternoon treat.
I made this but it was gritty-the pumpkin, the spice and the cocao didn’t totally dissolve. I didn’t use Hershey’s cocoa does it dissolve better than other cocoas? I enjoyed the taste, but couldnt get by the gritty texture. Did I go wrong some where?
