There is something so cozy about the smell of pumpkin bread baking in the oven. When you add swirls of chocolate, it turns into a special treat that feels like a cross between a muffin and a decadent dessert.

My family loves this bread because it stays soft for days. If you want the chocolate swirls to look nice, just use a butter knife to gently pull the chocolate batter through the pumpkin batter. Do not overmix it or the colors will blend into a muddy brown.
