Description
These Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bars are soft, moist, and loaded with melty chocolate chips in every bite. The zucchini blends seamlessly into the batter, keeping the bars tender while adding a touch of freshness. With warm cinnamon spice and a hint of sweetness, they’re the perfect balance between a snack and a dessert.
