Admin Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 As you have no doubt come to realize, I have been doing a lotwith zucchini. After the resounding success of my Fruit and Spice Zucchini Bread, I decided to give a chocolate version a try. This is insanely good! The crust is crackly and crunchy; the interior is chewy, almost creamy, and densely chocolate. I have had brownies that weren’t nearly this good. The beauty of this is that I count a slice as a serving of vegetables. While that may not be accurate, it is good, and works well any time of the day. Consider a slice for dessert topped with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Heaven!
