Zucchini is sort of like sauerkraut in that it can be shredded or grated and added to a surprising array of items to add bulk and flavor. Â This chocolate zucchini bar recipe is one such example. Â I've had these before and I don't know that anyone is going to walk away from eating saying "gee, that zucchini sure was great!", but it adds a texture and flavor that really makes for a mellow, moist bar. This recipe is popular in Amish kitchens this time of year. So enjoy!
