It’s the incredible mix of flavors in this chocolate zucchini bread…

that makes it so tasty!

My good friend, Eileen Hickey, gave me this recipe for chocolate zucchini bread. You might remember the name “Eileen Hickey” because she has written stories for insidewink. She and I have known each other for years. One time when she was visiting us, she made this this and left me the recipe. I love baking and this was such a wonderful combination of flavors I knew this would become a go-to recipe for me.

Zucchinis are in season in the summer so I mainly prepare this bread during July and August… and when I do serve this to friends and guests, they are surprised that the chocolate and the zucchini go so well together. I would say that zucchinis and chocolate go hand-in-hand (if zucchinis HAD hands).

This is a great treat for your Dad … it’s so easy and what Dad doesn’t like chocolate?!
