My review
Frosted Zucchini Brownies

"These are so moist and chocolaty. A recipe passed down from my mother-in-law who passed away 10 years ago. The first time I made these my husband and I cried as he said, 'This is my mom!' So to honor a special woman whose 5 food groups were chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, brownies, chocolate candy, and chocolate ice cream, I give you the ultimate brownie recipe!"

So delicious! I halved the cake portion of the recipe, replacing the nuts for mini chocolate chips (for the kids) and baked it in an 11x7 baking pan, so it came out a bit thicker, more like a ca...

frosting is good, but the brownie part is too heavy and wet. Very disappointing. will keep looking for a better, more tasty way to use up the zucchini from my garden

Made as directed minus nuts. I used a 17.25" x 11.5" baking sheet, but it still came out more cake like than brownie. Tasty way to use up zucchini!

I will make these again and substitute applesauce to make them more moist. Also consider doubling the frosting.

I made the recipe exactly as the directions stated. Spot on! Super rich--so be sure to cut small portions and have milk or coffee ready1 Thank you for sharing a memory with this recipe.

Yummy and very moist. Even my zucchini-shy husband approved! Instead of 1 1/2 cups of oil, I used 3/4 cup oil and 3/4 cup applesauce. Omitted the nuts and used ready-made frosting. I baked it in...
