How to Make Pumpkin Hot Chocolate

What kind of chocolate should I use for Pumpkin Hot Chocolate? 

The answer to that question is ultimately up to you. Since the pumpkin adds a lot of flavor that isn’t sweet, I like to use milk chocolate when I make pumpkin hot chocolate. If you like a more bitter taste, try semi-sweet or bittersweet. 

I also like to use a combination of semi-sweet and milk chocolate. I will often add half the chocolate and then taste as I go so I can get it just right!
