This easy homemade Pumpkin Cinnamon Hot Chocolate recipe will warm you up while giving in to your chocolate and pumpkin cravings!
This post and recipe was created for #Choctoberfest! I was sent samples by Rodelle and Davis Chocolate but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Today is one of my favorite days of the year, because it is the official start of #Choctoberfest. This is the third annual food blogger celebration of all things chocolate, made possible thanks to our gold sponsor Imperial Sugar and the other sponsors listed below. Who doesn’t love chocolate upon chocolate recipes, such as these Mint Chocolate Donut Holes!
I decided to make my own hot chocolate mix and then add pumpkin to it once I added the milk! It is heavenly!
This homemade hot chocolate is perfect because it keeps on giving and giving! I can make hot chocolate over and over again!

The recipe says 1 Tablespoon of pumpkin, is this canned pumpkin or is it to be from a fresh pumpkin? Also where did you find the wave chocolate sticks?
Nancy P.
Hi Brenda, it’s canned pumpkin. It perfect for when you have leftover pumpkin!
