First off, instead of 1/2t of cinnamon I put in 2t of homemade pumpkin pie spice mix, and will probably increase it to 2 1/2 next time because I like the spiciness. Also, i decreased the butter to 1/4 of a cup and just added an extra 1T+1t of pumpkin. I toasted the pecans (definitely do this!) and I think next time I will decrease the chocolate chips to 1/3 of a cup because the chocolate masked the delicate pumpkin flavor a little bit. Oh, and also I completely forgot to read directions and just added the baking soda into the dry ingredients! woops! Anyways, fortunately the bread still rose perfectly. I took mine out after 55 minutes because the tooth pick came out clean but it could use another 5 minutes because it was surprisingly a touch bit raw in the middle still! This bread was DELICIOUS and is a MUST, make this!! Hope my suggestions helped!

I usually make one with a pumpkin/carrot recipe that's really good. I must admit, I'm not a huge chocolate fan...(I know I hear a lot of gasping and sighing over there at this news!) but--John would absolutely love if I made this recipe with the chocolate, and who knows, the more chocolate I eat, the better chance I have of loving it too!

It isn't heavy on the pumpkin flavor like pumpkin pie or the like. It really is more reminiscent of a spice bread or even a richer banana or zucchini bread.
