I am considering using miniature choc chips instead of raisins next
time-you are invited :-)

ps I never use the "recipe" amount of sugar when it comes to pumpkin or
cheesecake for that matter. Sugar is neccesary for things like rhubarb
but way overused in most dessert recipes. For example, I love key lime
desserts but the sugar level in them leaves my joints in pain for days.
