This frosted zucchini brownies recipe yields moist and chocolaty brownies. The recipe was my mother-in-law's. She passed away 10 years ago. The first time I made it, my husband and I cried when he said, "This is my mom!" So to honor this special woman (whose five food groups were chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, brownies, chocolate candy, and chocolate ice cream), I give you the ultimate brownie recipe!
