I have been seeing a lot of chocolate with pumpkin lately. I haven’t really thought about that combination much, mostly because I just couldn’t really imagine the taste combination. I was always afraid it wouldn’t turn out right.
So I finally took the leap and combined the two.
And I think the combination is wonderful.
It makes me wonder why I never took the plunge before.
These special pumpkin muffins are really quick and easy to whip together.
But don’t let that fool you on the taste. They were fantastic.
The whole family absolutely loved them. They didn’t make it past 6:00 that night.
