I made two small changes: I used Hershey cinnamon chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips and pecans instead of walnuts. I chose to make muffins out of this recipe instead of one big loaf. I did get 12 medium sized muffins out of one recipe. Mine were done at just about 20 minutes. We thought this quick bread recipe was very nice but the glaze made it a little too sweet. I thought it could use a little more pumpkin or something to make it a little moister. Next time, I might up the pumpkin to a full cup and forgo the glaze all together OR skip the chips and go with the glaze.

I found the taste of the bread great on it's own, I wish I didn't add the sugar glaze, it made it far too sweet.

I made this recipe for gifts this year (2010). Everyone raved over the bread! I doubled the batch and made 3 - 8x4 loaves. I did not put icing on the bread instead - I sprinkled additional walnuts on the top. The loaves came out looking great.

this bread is OK... sugar should be incresed about 1/4 cup, and maybe a dash more cinnamon too! mine took less than 1hr to bake, and it burnt a bit.. :( soo.make sure you keep an eye on it ..no one like a bitter bread.. i also replaced nuts w/ dry cranberries- taste good w/ chocolate chips :)

This is a very tasty pumpkin bread recipe with a lot going on! Chocolate chips and walnuts, yum! I did have to cook it for 10 minutes longer than the recipe called for so make sure and test to see if it's done. It was simple to make and the icing seemed to soften the crust, which was a little hard but not bad. I will definitely be making some loaves to give out as Christmas gifts.

This was very good. I changed out some of the flour for whole wheat, but other than that followed the recipe as written. Very tasty, thanks!

I changed this recipe by removing the nuts and chocolate, and added a handfull of sunflower seeds. I would suggest adding more sugar (maybe 1/4 cup), and reducing or removing the nutmeg, as I found it to be coming through a little too strong. Also, if going with sunfower seeds as I did, I'd suggest using approx 1/2cup to 1cup, as my handfull was just an afterthought. Great texture and moisture to this recipe, bakes up great.
