Have you ever combined pumpkin and chocolate before? It may sound weird, but it is a remarkably tasty combination. This Pumpkin Pie Spice Hot Cocoa recipe is a delicious twist on traditional hot chocolate recipes.

The pumpkin pie spice combines well with the cocoa to create a uniquely flavored hot chocolate. And the pumpkin puree adds a luscious thickness to this hot cocoa. It is a perfectly delightful combination on a chilly fall day!
