Ingredients:

For the Bread:

• 1 cup butter, softened 
• 1 cup granulated sugar 
• 3 eggs 
• 2 cups pumpkin pie mix 
• 3 cups all-purpose flour 
• 2 teaspoons baking soda 
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
• 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 
• 4 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips 
• 2 cups chopped walnuts 

Glaze:

• 3 cups powdered sugar

Method of preparation:

1. Heat oven to 200°C. Grease bottom only of 5x8-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray.
2. In large mixing bowl, mix butter, granulated sugar, eggs and pumpkin; whisk with wire. Stir in the flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. In the end stir in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Spread the completed mixture in pan.
3. Bake for about one hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for about 20-30 minutes, first remove it from pan and then set it to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 or more hours.
4. In separate small bowl, stir powdered sugar and milk until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over pumpkin chocolate bread loaf. Let glaze set up before slicing, about one hour.
5. Have it as a main or a side for a dinner party. It's a great base to add your own flair to, and great to have as snack after the gym after a long day.
