Chocolate Chip Caramel Pumpkin Muffins

2 Cups flour
1/2 Cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
2/3 Cup of pumpkin
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 Cup milk
1 Cup chocolate chips
1 Cup caramel bits
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and spices in large mixing bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix just until moist. Fold in chocolate chips and caramel bits. Fill (greased of paper lined) muffin tins 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pan. Best served warm, but really pretty delicious any time.
You can find caramel bits on the baking aisle at the grocery store. They are Kraft brand. It's a bag of little caramel balls about the size of chocolate chips. I usually eat the leftover caramel....... is that bad?
