Pumpkin Muffins Redux

This time with chocolate chips. These turned out incredible. I used the same recipe as before replacing the cranberries with chocolate chips and decreasing the nutmeg and allspice. I'm not a big fan of big chucks of chocolate in my muffins, so I chopped up the chips. The result is the whole muffin has a nice chocolate-y flavor to it. This is a recipe you have got to try.
