Pumpkin Pie Hot Chocolate (with a little kick!)

Hey there Nibblers!  We are so excited to start the holiday season with some blogs and recipes!  Get ready- it's going to be fun and informative. 

We love creating recipes in the NibMor kitchen.  NibMor gal Lauren Fahey loves this season because she loves PUMPKIN anything!  So co-founder and NibMor chef Heather K. Terry decided to cook up a treat in her honor (co-founder Jennifer Love and NibMor gal Jenny Stachon didn't mind the treat!).  This recipe can be done with either the 6-Spice or Original Drinking Chocolates- but we like a little kick in the pants around here, so we went for it!  This is a great ending to any meal, plus it's low glycemic (our Drinking Chocolate line is sweetened with Coconut Palm Sugar), high in vitamins and minerals, and it's under 200 calories- YEAH!  Celebrate the holiday's with this delicious and healthy drink!

Pumpkin Pie Hot Chocolate

8oz Almond Milk (or whatever your 'milk' preference is)
2 heaping tablespoons NibMor 6-Spice Drinking Chocolate
2 1/2 heaping tablespoons Pumpkin Puree

Using a sauce pan, start to heat the 'milk' over a medium heat.  Add in the Drinking Chocolate mix and pumpkin puree.  Use a whisk to mix it well and break down the puree.  Do not boil but heat long enough to see steam coming off the top.  Serve in mugs- Enjoy!
