Chocolate Zucchini Bread

If you are anything like me, this time of year you have zucchini coming out your ears.  I only planted two zucchinis this year and have a ton of fruit ripening.  I like zucchini bread, but have to admit that this is my favorite zucchini recipe.  What I like is that it doesn't taste like traditional zucchini bread.  If you didn't know any better, you would never guess that that is what it is.  So, I wanted to share the recipe with all my family and friends to try....
