Zucchini Brownies

Since summer = zucchini around here, we are always looking for new ways to use it.  A friend of mine's mom used to make these for us in high school.  They are tasty, give them a try.

Chocolate Zucchini Brownies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
4 TBSP cocoa (or more :)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp soda
2 cups shreaded zucchini (just washed - leave the skin on)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds (opt.)

Cream butter, oil, eggs and sugar.  Mix in dry ingredients.  Add zucchini.  Put in 9x13 pan.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips and almonds.  Bake at 325 for 30 minutes.
