Pumpkin Pie Hot Chocolate Drink
"I made up this recipe because I thought the hot chocolate I usually have was a little bit bland. I recommend adding more milk if it tastes to strong to you. Your personal touch is encouraged! If you would rather have it coffee-free, go ahead! You could also use apple pie spice (haven't tried it, but it may taste good) or your favorite extracts."

Wonderfully warming and comforting hot chocolate! Instead of almond extract I added 1 tablespoon almond butter to my watery rice milk, so I got a real creamy drink. Thanks for posting! Made for Comfort Cafe Snowqueen's Round 2010. -
This recipe is joy for your taste buds! Creamy chocolate with a pumpkin-like surprise. Great for a cold winter's day after shoveling snow or just curled up by the fireplace with a good book. This recipe was made for the Comfort Cafe's tag game.
