Cozy Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows – Perfect for Fall
Okay, we all know pumpkin spice is everywhere. It’s like the Covid of fall—you can’t escape it. But if you’re gonna lean into it, why not go all the way? I’m talking Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow Hot Chocolate. It’s like pumpkin spice got a makeover from a drag queen and rolled in chocolate. And marshmallows.
Why This Will Make Your Life Better:
It’s Fall in a Mug: Pumpkin, chocolate, and marshmallows—basically, it’s a drink that hugs you, tells you you’re pretty, and doesn’t judge your life choices.
Fast AF: Ready in 10 minutes. Faster than you can avoid a conversation with someone from high school at Whole Foods.
Marshmallows = Therapy: Yeah, I said it. You top this thing with marshmallows, and suddenly, everything’s okay. Even that weird guy on the subway seems less threatening.
Ingredients You’re Gonna Need:
1 ½ cups of milk (Almond, oat, soy—whatever you got. Just not that expired cow’s milk sitting in your fridge since July.)
¼ cup of pumpkin puree (You know you have that can sitting in the back of your pantry because you swore you were gonna bake something.)
2 tbsp cacao powder (Yeah, the fancy stuff. You’re worth it.)
2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (Because we’re adults who deserve dark chocolate.)
1 tbsp pumpkin spice (Because it’s a law of nature in fall.)
2 tbsp maple syrup (Not that fake stuff from the diner. The real deal, unless you’re a liar.)
1 tsp vanilla extract (You know, just to class it up a little.)
A pinch of salt (Life is salty, this drink shouldn’t be.)
Marshmallows (Enough to cover your guilt for all the things you didn’t get done today.)
How to Throw This Together Like You’re a Boss:
Dump Everything in a Pot: Seriously. Dump the milk, pumpkin, cacao, chocolate chips, pumpkin spice, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt into a pot. Heat that bad boy up. You’re an adult—you know how stoves work.
Whisk Like Your Life Depends on It: You’re not trying to get lumps here. Whisk it like you’re shaking out all your life regrets, but don’t let it boil. It’s hot chocolate, not a science experiment.
Top It with a Marshmallow Mountain: Pour it into a mug, and don’t be stingy with the marshmallows. We’re adults now—we make our own rules.
