Enjoy an easy Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate without Pumpkin Puree, made with rich chocolate, fall spices, and creamy milk!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
 
 

Hot Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 cups whole milk, or milk of choice
Toppings
  • marshmallows, large or mini
  • Pumpkin pie spice, to dust

Method
 

  • Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, add the chocolate chips, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and milk.
  • Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Heat gently while whisking to ensure the chocolate chips melt evenly and do not stick to the bottom, about 3-4 minutes. Do not bring it to a boil or a simmer.
  • Remove from Heat: Once steam is visible off the surface, remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with marshmallows and a dusting of pumpkin spice. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers: Allow the hot chocolate to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight glass jar, such as a mason jar, or a sealed container. Store it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Make it in advance: You can also prepare the hot chocolate ahead of time using the same storage method above.
Reheat: In a saucepan on the stovetop over low-medium heat. Be sure to whisk it well to recombine any ingredients that may have settled, heating it up to your preferred temperature.
