Can You Make Chocolate Pumpkin Bread In Advance?

This dessert is best served warm, but it’s pretty good out of the fridge as well.

If you must make it in advance, make it, then cool it completely on the counter. Store in the refrigerator in a container. Before serving, take it out of the fridge, cut into slices, and lightly warm them up in the microwave.
