This is my mom’s recipe that I grew up with. I always loved finding this sweet bread in the fridge around this time of the year. 
As I got older my mom made it more than just during fall season because it was so loved for family gatherings. I recall making it with my mom and feeling like the processing was very intensive and time consuming. This is where I realized I had to “Goody Mix” this recipe, or simplify it. My reasoning is any good recipe can be made just as good (or better) using the Goody Mix system. This pumpkin chocolate chip bread was definitely no exception. I had the batter all made in a matter of 10 minutes and in the oven in 15 minutes. I got this done so quickly I decided to make something else! These mini-loaves are a great neighborly gift during the harvest to share something that has that taste we all love during this season. The only changes I made to the recipe were I added an additional 1/2 C. of the mini-chips since I know Angel would love that addition and there were times I felt like the loaves were a little spare with the chocolate chips. I also kept the glaze at full concentration (I halved my mom’s recipe) since I like how the glaze dries and adds that extra burst of spices to the exterior of the bread.
