Zucchini – Gotta Love It- With Chocolate, That is

Gardens are overflowing with zucchini, mine included.  I happen to like Zucchini – I like it in pasta, I like it grilled, I like it with chocolate.  I’m  starting to sound like the Green Eggs and Ham Book!  LOL

Do you like Zucchini?  Or must you disguise it, hidden in chocolate?  Either way this chocolate zucchini bread rocks!  It is moist and chocolate and only the most discerning of palates can tell there is zucchini in there.  There is a good reason it received 4-1/2 stars out of 5 on Allrecipes.com by 500+ reviewers.  So whether you like zucchini or not, go and make this bread … ENJOY!
