  1. To shred the zucchini, use a regular cheese grater. No need to peel it; just wash and dry before shredding!
  2. I like to use half dark chocolate and half white chocolate chips, but you can use whatever kind you'd like.
  3. If you are a more meticulous baker than I am, mix your dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls before combining in one.
