Did you know that I like chocolate?
Right.
I also like zucchini. Truestory. So as Valerie over at City | Life | Eats posted a slew recipes using both chocolate AND zucchini, I salivated. More and more with each passing recipe. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and begged her to co-host a blog part with the theme of zucchini and chocolate.
A wave of relief washed over me when she agreed.
It’s worth noting that Valerie is very dedicated to a gluten-free diet, which is amazing. With that in mind, we set up FOUR different challenges, two of which call for gluten-free recipes.
Challenge: A recipe using chocolate and zucchini
Plant-Based Challenge: A vegan recipe using chocolate and zucchini
Gluten-Free Challenge: A gluten-free recipe using chocolate and zucchini
Ultimate Challenge: A vegan and gluten-free recipe using chocolate and zucchini
I’ll post recipes involving gluten. Valerie will catch the gluten-free ones. I might catch some of those, too, since I’m sure they’ll be tasty.
In true open-minded chocoholic form, any kind of chocolate (cacao nibs, chocolate chips, chocolate bars, fudge, powder) are welcome as part of recipes for the event, and you are welcome to dig into your archives for recipes – no need to make a new one if you have something delicious on hand that I can envy.
All the information you need:
Challenge: A recipe using chocolate and zucchini
Plant-Based Challenge: A vegan recipe using chocolate and zucchini

Additional notes applicable to all challenges:
-Recipes can be sweet or savory and must include both ingredients

So. What are YOU going to make for our party?
Sounds fun- I'm going to tweak my chocolate zucchini bread recipe and send it your way! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I have both in my kitchen, time to start creating!
ReplyDeletePerhaps a zucchini sculpted out of a block of chocolate and stuffed with small chocolates sculpted out of baby zucchini? No, that sounds about the grossest thing I could think of. And also not really a recipe. Or something you would want associated with your party.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep thinking.
I can't invent baking recipes. But I am pretty excited to make ones other people post. Chocolate and zucchini are a pretty good combo.
ReplyDeleteI have made chocolate zucchini bread which was a hit (I never posted it though). I'll have to think about it. I'm not the best baker ha. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I am looking forwards to the vegan, gluten-free challenge :) Can we use ANY zucchini/summer squash varieties? ...
