Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate

I have been on a pumpkin kick. The web is just overflowing with fabulous pumpkin recipes to try. I had white chocolate on the brain this weekend, so this seemed like a natural combination. Recipe courtesy of Tidy Mom. I did modify the original recipe, I probably added closer to 3 ounces of chocolate because I couldn't taste the chocolate at all, but I had to substitute white chocolate chips (1/3 cup=2ounces) and added 1/2 a cup. I also sprinkled in some Truvia, because it seemed to need a little more sweet (for my infamous tooth!)

MMMMMmmmmm, like pumpkin pie in a cup! I knew there was a reason I had saved those Princess House  mugs! It just wouldn't have been the same in a plain jane coffee mug :) 

Please pretend that says Pumpkin Pie Spice......I was SURE I put some in my grocery cart :/

Stir everything together except the Ready Whip. I recommend a taste test and adjust according to taste, you might want to add more chocolate or some sweetener.....
