There's nothing better than a mug of hot chocolate on a fall evening. Add some pumpkin to the mix and you've got something really special (trust me).
I found this recipe on Pinterest and love that it is not loaded with sugar or other unhealthy ingredients. The original recipe makes two servings, but since the hubs is not a fan of pumpkin (I'm still hoping he'll come around...) I cut it in half to make a perfect single serving. The pumpkin in this recipe is NOT overpowering at all, but just adds a little more depth and richness.
