Pumpkin Chip Cupcakes

These are so good I can’t believe it. Anytime I’ve made them they not only make the house smell yummy, but the kids eat them up! I never have many leftovers, and I am super popular when I take them to my son’s school as a teacher treat. Serve with Cream Cheese Frosting. (http://www.recipezaar.com/327620)
