Oh man, I just love the Fall season. I love the weather changes, football, the fact that kids are finally back in school, and definitely the food! This homemade Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa is the perfect way to warm up on those cooler mornings and is a great alternative to regular ol’ coffee!
As you can see, these cute little pumpkin marshmallows have been added for a little personality. Hey, you wanna stay young, think like a kid! You’ll be the best mom ever serving up this cup of fun to your kiddo, even more awesome if you let them help you draw the faces. These are easily done with the Wilton markers!
This pumpkin spice hot cocoa might just be a great, beginner family tradition for ya too. I can just see bonding moments being created with your daughter, mother, sister….all while y’all stir the cocoa together, telling super lame stories about how cool y’all thought you once were. This is enough for 2 mugs and while it would be so tasty to be selfish and have both mugs by yourself, I highly recommend you share with someone you love, and start creating that fun, comforting family tradition.
With that, let us toast the Fall season, great football, and blessings to everyone around us! CHEERS!
