Pumpkin Chocolate Brownies

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.  I love the changing of the colors.  I love being able to bundle  up in my comfy clothes.  I love comfort food, including all things pumpkin.  Here's a new recipe for me, it's something very similar to the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread that I have made in the past.  I would highly recommend you making this if you are like me and love pumpkin.  ENJOY!!!
