I made these loaves for Thanksgiving, and they were such a hit that several of my guests were already reserving slices to take home for later. I added walnuts and served some plain and some with a buttermilk glaze on top, and they were all devoured. They were so thoroughly enjoyed that I've already been given "hints" on what I should give as Christmas gifts this year! I will definitely be making these many more times.

My husband and (picky) kids loved this. You can taste both the chocolate and the pumpkin but neither taste overpowers the other. Next time I'm going to try adding walnuts in place of the chocolate chips to see if it's just as delicious that way.

I make these loaves and give them out and freeze some so I have plenty. They make a great snack.

Excellent! The whole house smells wonderful when this is baking and we can hardly wait for it to cool enough to slice. Tons of flavor. Thanks!

Simply Awesome ! We baked this last year and passed out during the season. Instead of 3 regular size pans we used the smaller loaf pans and it works out perfect to pass around.

This was such a simple recipe to follow and it turned out great! I loved the chocolate and pumpkin combination. I like it best while still warm from the oven! I served it at a family gathering and everyone seemed to love it - one person would have omitted the chocolate and added nuts instead - but I loved it just as it is!

I make this yummy loaf every year to give as gifts and take to gatherings. Everyone raves over it. So moist and just plain yummy. My daughter said yesterday that it is getting to the season to make that great pumpkin bread!
