When you think of Fall, what cupcake ideas come to mind? For me, pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes are the best!

I just enjoy all the wonderful desserts we can make with pumpkin during Fall. I even tried some pumpkin cookies this year. YUM!

I just love the taste of pumpkin and chocolate together. It is a great combination, especially with the cream cheese frosting.

The good thing about this cupcake recipe? If you don’t want to frost them, you don’t even have to get out a stand mixer. You can do this all by hand, with a whisk!

The cupcakes are just as good without the frosting should you have someone who doesn’t like cream cheese. My husband dislikes cream cheese so I left him some without frosting.

The cream cheese frosting is very simple to make. You will need a stand mixer to beat all the ingredients together. You will also need a piping bag and a large decorating tip.
