Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl, you’ll want to mix all ingredients (flour through pumpkin) in a large mixing bowl.

- Place in the oven for about 30-40 minutes (or until your knife comes out clean). When it’s done, take out and let it cool off.
- Crush up your graham crackers and mix in with room temperature cream cheese.
- Gently, spread the graham cracker mixture over the pumpkin bread.
- Melt your chocolate chips for 30 seconds at a time and pour over the top of the graham cracker layer. Sprinkle with chunks of chocolate or miniature chocolate chips.
- Let the chocolate set before eating.
