Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

I think we can all agree that pumpkin treats are just the best.  Something about them is so delicious and I look forward to making them this time of year so much!  One of my favorite traditions is that I always make pumpkin chocolate chip bread before Halloween and it's great because the recipe makes extra loaves so I can deliver them to our friends for a little Halloween treat.  I usually make it with large milk chocolate chips because that’s what I always have on hand, but it also works great to use the mini chocolate chips because they spread throughout the bread more evenly. This recipe is hands down my favorite one and I'm sure you'll love it too!
