Would make this again.
this was my mom's recipe (Audrey), and it is truly to die for...she must have made it several times each summer for at least 20 years...it's an awesome way to use up those gigantic "oops I didn't see it there" zukes that magically appear in the garden.

It was the best - the chocolate in the recipe made it great. Thank you...

This is an amazing recipe! Very moist and exceedingly chocolaty. Definitely a keeper. I'll never make plain zucchini bread again as long as I live.
