Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Zucchini Bread

MCaram's Note:

This is a variation of Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread from Beachbunnymom and a recipe I tried from a foodie blog http://thehungrydudes.com/reeces-pieces-chocolate-chip-banana-bread. It turned out great! My husband who is skeptical of zucchini bread loved it too. I'm making another couple of loaves tonight to take for my coworkers to try.
