Harvest Meal - Lazy Girls Chocolate Fix - Double Chocolate Zucchini Loaf

Sometimes the craving just hits...

VERY rarely does chocolate pass my lips.  I'm more of a 'candy' girl.  Licorice, Dinosours, Giant Sour Soothers are my fave go to... but sometimes, just sometimes my body needs chocolate.  So I always choose this recipe, because in MY mind it's a 'healthy' version of chocolate, because duh! it's has a vegetable in it!

Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.  I also will mention, I ALWAYS double or sometimes even triple the recipe, as it freezes wonderfully!!  I think I originally got this recipe from Pinterest, although it doeen't say on my recipe tin card ??? So if you gave it to me, thank you!!
