My Zucchini Double Chocolate Bars Are Delectable and Easy to Whip Up!

Before all the wildlife decided my garden was their feeding station, I used to make this recipe quite often when I had lots of homegrown zucchini.  These yummy chocolate bars are the perfect solution when you run out of ideas for what to do with all of those zucchini.  

You will find my zucchini bars moist and bursting with added chocolate awesomeness from chocolate chips.  What further compliments the flavor is the blend of spices and molasses, which does wonders to enhance the chocolate and add something extra to make it special.

Though I love to bake, I hate complicated recipes and prefer simple ones.  Trust me, but the hardest part of this recipe is rooting through your pantry and refrigerator to assemble your ingredients.  Of course, I am forgetting another step.  You will need to grate the zucchini.  Other than those steps, you basically just mix the ingredients together.

If you don't have any sour milk that you hate to waste, then add about a  tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to the cup of milk.  Stir and give it a few seconds before it will curdle for you.

I know you won't be disappointed if you do decide to make it!
