Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Have a few zucchini's you need to get rid of? This is a great recipe! And... the best part for kids is that they won't even taste the zucchini! I guess the sugar might cancel out the nutritional value of the zucchini, but it's a nice thought that you are eating a vegetable!
