Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate
This time of year it seems everything is pumpkin flavored. Some are downright nasty, but this Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate is quite delicious. White chocolate and pumpkin are a flavor combination I have been fond of for quite some time (see my Pumpkin Muffins with White Chocolate Chips and Pumpkin Biscotti with White Chocolate Chips).
Enjoy a cup of this fall drink with some pumpkin cookies or a slice of easy to make pumpkin dump cake. Though the hot chocolate is quite rich, so it is just fine by itself too.
This would be great to serve during a fall crafting party too. Why not invite friends over and mix up a batch of this with some to make some White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Popcorn Party Mix. You can all make Pumpkin Spice Bath Fizzies or some Peppermint Sugar Scrub for holiday gifting.
