What went well? Nothing went well with the actual muffins I will be completely honest I disliked those muffins I just hated the zucchini in them it did not go well with the chocolate and the cloves. But we did do a good job with the recipe and the using of the utensils

What didn’t go so well? The muffins were terrible. Enough said.

Something I learned?  Don’t put zucchini in chocolate muffins.

What will I do next time? Don’t put in the zucchini.
