These zucchini bars were okay, but I've had better. The frosting was a bit too thick and the bars were a bit too dense.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These zucchini bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a less sweet frosting.
