What is it with zucchinis?  I do believe if I sat outside and watched them for a day I could actually see them grow before my eyes!  I have yet to try that, but it seems every year we tend to neglect one or two by not picking them in time.  So if you have those zucchini’s that you neglected to pick and now they are as big as a small baseball bat, shred them and make some yummy zucchini bars!  These are a big hit in our family, and by adding the caramel frosting on top we have a home run!

  • CARAMEL FROSTING
  • ½ cup butter

  5. Pour into greased and floured 10x15 inch pan.
  6. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the a toothpick in center comes out clean.
  7. Take out of oven and while letting them cool, make the frosting.
  8. To make the frosting, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sugar and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. (I always keep stirring it as I cook it)
  9. Add the milk and bring to a second boil. Remove from heat.
  10. Add the powdered sugar gradually, stirring well, until you get a good consistency to spread over the bars. I used all of the 1½ cups plus a little bit more.
