My husband loves to eat this chocolate zucchini bread with his favorite cream cheese brand. He always happily spreads a generous amount on each slice every time he gets his hand on this bread. He looks like a happy child who is given his favorite gift. I on the other hand love this bread with butter. It tastes really good with my morning coffee. My twin boys love eating this alone. They just appreciate its flavor!
One of our friends over at Home Cooking Adventure has this to say about the recipe:
“This Chocolate Zucchini Bread is simply delicious. The recipe is very easy, you don’t even need a hand mixer to prepare this. Goes really fast and the result is beyond expectations. Moist, rich, chocolaty and the chocolate chunks inside are melted and create an amazing texture.”
It’s really easy to make which makes me grateful because it’s already a family favorite! In that way, I can make this even if I don’t have too much time.
