Was very good! I was afraid of trying them because of the mixture of pumkin and chocolate. They ended up tasting like pumpkin pie with a kick and they are very cake-like.

I am a huge fan of chocolate and of pumpkin and mixing the two is an excellent idea! Very cake-like and moist. I made them without the nuts and they were just as tasty. I also used dark chocolate chips.... mmm mmmm mmm
