Absolutely delicious! Definitely a "cake" recipe, not brownies, but so moist and flavorful. Will definitely make again any time my zucchini get out of hand.

It was good but more cakey. I like my brownies a bit more dense and it was too much like a chocolate cake. Good but needs some modifications.

OMG!!!!! These are to die for!! What an awesome way to use up zucchini. Rich and super moist with that hint of peanut butter. Will definitely be making again and again.

These are sooo good. Not quite brownie like, more like fudge cake. No matter what the name is these are fantastic. Next time, I'll double the frosting....yummy!!

What a great way to use that abundance of zucchini that from our gardens. I made these for the first time for a gathering of mountain bikers. They were a big hit! Even my chocolate-loathing husband ate these!

I really want to try this recipe BUT I never used zucchini before. Do I just grate it and use it as is or do I squeeze it dry w/a towel? Zucchini people don"t think that everyone out in TOH land is familiar w/all types of veggies. Also, like chocolate about how much more should I add? Desperately seeking HELPPPPPPPPPP! Thanx.

Tastes more cake-like than a brownie but will definitely make it again!

I did not think this cake had quite enough chocolate flavor for me. And I am not a "chocoholic". I loved the texture and moistness however and will use the plain yogurt instead of buttermilk in my zucchini cake recipe-it has a lighter taste. If I was to make this again-I would definitely increase chocolate or add another chocolate (maybe chips). Also increase sugar a bit if you do not frost them.

YUMMY!!!!! These bars were super moist and the frosting was amazing! Had to savor each bite, couldn't get enough! Made 2 pans with all my garden zucchini, will freeze a bunch!

These are the most wonderful Brownies ever. Moist, and sweet, the texture is great. I made these for an event at Church, and they were a big hit. Our Pastor loved them, and took some home, as others did too.Connie Johns, Aberdeen, Wa
