Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares

These Pumpkin Squares are a favorite with everyone in the family -- and many teachers that my husband works with. Some even ask for them. For our cookout on Saturday, I had s'mores fixin's on hand, but in case of rain I also made these moist, yummy squares. The last few little pieces were eaten for breakfast the next morning!
