Author Notes: I found this Penzey's recipe in a pile of clippings I had saved forever when I was looking for something to do with left over zucchine. Being a dedicated chocaholic they sounded ideal. I did reduce the sugar a little bit. They were satisfyingly chocolate very moist and easy to make with ingredients usually on hand. - Latetotheparty
