Ok so The pumpkin coffee creamer flavors aren't out yet but I have a quick fix. Add some french vanilla creamer to your coffee and sprinkle on a little pumpkin spice, stir and instant pumpkin latte. It is really good

That sounds really good... I wonder if that would work with hot cocoa, since I don't drink coffee. Have you tried it with hot cocoa?

Nope I sure have not. You know I really do not like coffee myself but I love the mocah's and pumpkin latee's at Starbucks so I made my own. They taste more like a coffee drink instead of coffee.

Torani makes an excellent pumpkin pie flavoring syrup, both in regular and sugar-free, that is great in coffee - several coffee houses in our area use Torani syrups to make their flavored blended coffees - both hot and cold. I like to whip about a tablespoon of real pumpkin with 2 tablespoons coffee per serving in a blender, put in bottom of coffee cup with a splash of syrup than add hot coffee, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spices. I don't see why it wouldn't work with hot chocolate too, chocolate and pumpkin are a great flavor combo.

Wow, that does sound very good!! Thanks!!

NeverMore your right I'm sure Bella would luv this!!

Is it good? If so then I'll let my grandpa know about it. I hope he will like to try it b/c we've never tried it before.

Sounds awesome to me! I'll try it later.

So chocolate and pumpkin go well together? Has anyone tried making a chocolate pumpkin bread? I don't really eat pumpkin, but now I'm intrigued...

Well now, here's a recipe! I have not tried it so I can't give it a yay or nay, but it sounds all right so I think I may test it out in the coming weeks!

Pumpkin bread, carrotcake and muffins are good!!!

Well I gave the chocolate pumpkin bread recipe a try last night. My thoughts:

Everyone other than me who ate some thought it was great. I've decided that I don't care for the taste of pumpkin, so it didn't work for me.

The recipe doesn't specify what kind of chocolate chips to use so I chose dark chocolate which gave the bread a very, very strong chocolate taste.

It also took quite a bit longer to bake than the recipe instructed. After 40 minutes at the instructed temperature, I took it down to 300 and it had to bake another 30 minutes before it was completely done.

Just a few things to keep in mind in case anyone is thinking about trying this

I love pumpkin bread, but I'm not sure I would like the taste of chocolate in it. As for the timing--I often find that my quick breads take longer than recipes specify.

Anyone tried pumpkin biscuits before? I've never tried it so is it good?
