Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325.
- 2. Beat your sugar, eggs, and oil for 3 minutes.
- 3. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Beat for additional minute.
- 4. Slowly add, while beating, the rest of the dry ingredients, save the chocolate chunks, nuts, and M&Ms.
- 5. Fold in chocolate chunks and candied pecans.
- 6. Spray two loaf pans with olive oil non stick spray and lightly dust with cocoa powder.
- 7. Pour half batter in each pan.
- 8. Sprinkle chopped pecans and M&Ms atop of poured batter. Do not stir.

Tips:
- Use fresh and ripe zucchini: This will give your bread a moist and flavorful texture.
- Grate the zucchini finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help it to hold its shape.
