Chocolate Zucchini Bread

By: Charlotte McDaniel 
"You'd never guess zucchini is the 'secret ingredient' in this easy-to-assemble bread - it has such big chocolate taste! Charlotte McDaniel, from Williamsville, Illinois, informs, 'I freeze extra zucchini from my garden in summer and make this bread to give as gifts all winter long.'"
