I tested this recipe quite a few times before getting it just right. They are the best texture and the chocolate chunks add the perfect melty gooeyness. When I made this batch, they were gone so quickly because they are just SO addicting. I pop one in the microwave for 10 seconds (need that warm, melty texture) for a quick snack or breakfast! Out of all the pumpkin treats I made this season (which was a whole lot) these are my favorite.

I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour. Since it measures 1-to-1 you can also use all purpose baking flour! For the chocolate, I used Enjoy Life Food’s baking chocolate chunks. Their chocolate is soy, dairy, gluten, egg and peanut, and tree nut free.. so basically anyone with allergies can enjoy it! The ingredients are just cane sugar, unsweetened chocolate and cocoa butter.
