I messed up rice krispy treats.

They're fancy rice krispy treats, where melted butterscotch chips and peanut butter are the glue that holds the cereal together, and there's a layer of chocolate in the middle.  I didn't have enough butterscotch chips, so I added some corn syrup and butter to help make up the difference.  But either that wasn't an acceptable substitute or I didn't add enough, because the cereal layer is crumbly and doesn't hold together very well.  Ugh.  Why, oh why, didn't I just buy more butterscotch chips?!  Or, it occurred to me too late, it would have been super simple to just not add all the cereal.

There's no magical solution here, right?   I'm stuck with this big pan of crumbly bars?

This makes me feel better about the pudding incident. #NotHelpful

Could you add them to another dessert like brownies or something on the line of compost cookies.

Yeah, see, I don't just sabotage other people - I do it to myself too!

That's a good idea. I'm crossing my fingers that if I'm really careful cutting them, I'll get some whole bars that I can give away.  But I'm expecting a huge amount of crumbs, and putting them in cookies is a great idea.

Use them as a topping on this!

So delicious!  If the recipe isn't on the group's main page, let me know I can type it up and send it to you if you want. or google might find it out there somewhere.

I love those, my mom made those when I was a kid. Trying putting them in the fridge to help firm them up.

Sounds like a great topping for ice cream or pudding.

The recipe even when made correctly is a bit crumbly upon cutting, but that's the best part - getting to eat all the yummy crumbs when cutting them! (But you should definitely still get plenty of good, well-shaped full-size bars too, and I've never tried adding any other ingredients to make up for chips, so I can't help there, sorry )
