I've noticed a lot of zucchini flying around my Facebook lately, so I thought I'd share one of my favorite zucchini recipes. The whole chocolate/zucchini combo may make your stomach churn at the thought, but you'll just have to trust me on this. It is SO moist and delicious, you'll forget you're eating veggies!
