members' commentsBecciM - I was disappointed but I'm not a huge chocolate fan either. Zucchini did give it a lovely texture though, nice and moist. Couldn't taste zucchini at all but it was too much cocoa powder and choc chips for me I think.
ES - Mine didn't rise and is very dense and chocolatey. I've told the kids that it is a brownie and they think that it is.
