Pumpkin Spiced Hot Chocolate

I really really love hot chocolate.  But trying to keep my weight down, I don't drink near what I would love too.

I also really like flavored hot chocolate.  My first experience I remember about a flavored hot chocolate other than mint, was Cinnamon Hot Chocolate.  That recipe will be coming soon.

With Thanksgiving just next week, I thought I would share my recipe for Pumpkin Spiced Hot Chocolate.
