Simple Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Lynnnnnnnnnnn's Note:

Indulge in this yummy chocolate, yet still healthy snack. This bread would be great served with a few fresh cut strawberries on top to give it a little more of a sweet taste. Great for an afternoon snack or even breakfast.

This has a great texture but seemed a bit bland. More spices needed, I think. The basic recipe is fine and I will try again and experiment. I think less nutmeg and maybe some cloves or allspice. And some nuts, which would change the fat content some. Made for Fall 2008 My-3-Chefs.
