Really Ugly Protein Granola Bars

Poop.

Or in other words, how I messed up a recipe, but sort of salvaged it. Sort of. God, it’s a hideous granola bar.

So many things went wrong in making these granola bars. First, I ran out of honey, so I tried to make do with only 1/3 cup of honey. No good, the mixture was too dry and crumbly. I tried to salvage it by adding more melted peanut butter.  Still too crumbly. Then, I tried to make an elegant chocolate drizzle, which ended up looking like elegant chocolate turds. Finally, I cut into them while they were still too cold, and they ended up disintegrating everywhere.

But I still ate them, and they taste really good, so that’s what counts, right? I’ll console myself by eating the crumbs.
