      Fantastic recipe. Thanks for sharing. I had a smaller muffin pan so made two pans and also discovered I had mini chocolate chips so went ahead and made them with these. Still turned out delicious!

      Just made these Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins. Hubby and I had one for a mid morning snack with our coffee and they are AMAZING! Love the Pumpkin Spice Seasoning in them but I also added a little Vanilla. These will go on my Fall Baking List. Yummy!
