3 cups white sugar
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 TBSP ground cinnamon
1 TBSP ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 9 x 5 loaf pans.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin, oil, water and eggs. Beat until smooth. Blend in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Fill pans ½ to ¾ full.

Bake for 1 hour, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on wire racks before removing from pan.
