Tips:
- For the perfect balance of flavors, choose a dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa solids.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, toss them in a little flour before adding them to the batter.
- For a moist and tender loaf, don't overmix the batter.
- Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving.
