Very tasty.! I also used mini chocolate bits, but sprinkled them over the glaze as it was setting up.

I made this recipe to share at work - everyone loved it! It was very moist and the flavor was yummy! I also added mini chocolate chips and left off the white chocolate drizzle.

This recipe was great. Will make again. I doubled this recipe and I added 1/2 cup of extra zucchini. It turned out great.

Everything went just as it should for a first time try. It is a delicious chocolate zucchini bread even without the white chocolate drizzle. I will definately make it again!
