Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Bread Ingredients:

1 cup butter

4 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini

4 eggs, slightly beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Glaze Ingredients:

1/4 cup white baking chips (or 1 1/2 ounces of white choc.), melted

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Heat oven to 350 F. Melt butter and chocolate over medium heat in 2-quart saucepan, stirring occasionally (4 to 6 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in sugar, zucchini, eggs and vanilla until well mixed.

Combine all remaining bread ingredients in large bowl. Stir zucchini mixture into flour mixture just until moistened.

Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 8x4 inch loaf pans. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, stir together all glaze ingredients in small bowl; drizzle over cooled bread. The bread is still good with out the glaze if your looking for a little less sugar.
