Pumpkin Choco Morsels Bars

I can't tell you how many times I've had to backspace and really really proofread this! The K key on my laptop works when it wants to.....very irritating!  Anyway......it's pumpkin season!!! Ok....for me, it's always pumpkin season. And these are 2 of my favorite things....pumpkin and chocolate!!! YUM!!!  You don't have to use the dark chocolate morsels if all you have on-hand are the semi-sweet ones.....just be sure to refigure the P+ if you even want to count P+.  I like the dark chocolate morsels because they have a better flavor and are like chunk-size pieces of chocolate. Whichever you choose to use, you will definitely enjoy this recipe!!!
