Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies

We are all nearing the end of the gardening season, and how many of you have oodles of zucchini laying around?  Or a gargantuan zucchini taking up way too much space in the fridge?  Have no fear.  I have the answer for you!  These Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies are moist, chocolatey, and delicious.  They are more of a cake-like brownie, and we liked them best a la mode.  If you need a few other ideas for using up that plethora of zucchini, here are a few of my other favorites: Grandma's Zucchini Bread, Zucchini Tomato Bake, Zucchini Soup (also amazing with summer squash), Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake, or Chocolate Zucchini Bread. {In fact, I think I'll make at least of these today, too!)
