You guys already know I love chocolate milk a million times over. 

But also, did you know, I love pumpkin so, so much?

Because I do. I really do.

Last weekend I decided to make El Duke and El SamSam these cookies. That's not what I'm here to tell you about today, but while I have your attention: make those cookies. They're crazy good and anytime I can get a fruit (/basically almost a vegetable) in a cookie is a time I can feel 100 percent OK with eating the whole batch in one weekend. Which, we did.  

However, today I need to tell you about something even better than those cookies (which is saying a lot). It is the marriage of two of my most favorite things:  

the chocolate beverage

pumpkin

pumpkin hot chocolate

Did I mention it's vegan?

It's vegan. 

You guys.

I can't even. 

I don't even know how to tell you how quickly you need to run to the kitchen and make this stuff. 

Here's what you're going to need to do for my version ( inspired by this one, but obviously I couldn't just follow her instructions. That would be way too easy.)

Ingredients:

2 C. almond milk ( this is my fav, fav kind, btw. If you've yet to try it - get to trying! 

PS Am I bossy today?)
2 C. of water (add more if it tastes too rich)

1/4 C. pumpkin (canned is fine)

3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

3 T unsweetened cocoa

4 T agave

Dash of salt

To make:

Put everything in pot on stove top on medium heat

Whisk until blended and liquefied

Pour in favorite mug 

...and enjoy :)

Told ya it was easy - and tasty!

Let me know if you try it :) 

PS Don't be mad but I poured mine over ice. I had to. It was amaze.
PPS I also added some of the leftovers to my coffee yesterday.
PPPS Next time I am going to try it with vanilla and make a latte because I mostly prefer it to chocolate.

OK that's all,  promise.
