Why? Why do I go against my own instincts and listen to dud advice??

I knew, on an instinctive, visceral level, that mars bar crispy cakes didn't need all that butter and and syrup.
They're fucked now.
Stupid internet.

Can you remelt and add more crispies/ mars bar?

Genuine sadface.

They sound pretty god to me.

IMO a mars bar crispy cake that never sets is a superior mars bar crispy cake.

Whyyyyy

But yes, try remelting amd adding more krispies amd mars bar - or maybe smushed up digestive biscuits or dried fruit?

DP insists they need marshmallows too... She's wrong.

One word - spoon.

Oh utterbum.

Is it too early ti start drinking?

KellyHopter · 20/08/2013 15:27

I like them reasonably gooey too, but it's the taste that's the problem and I fear there's no saving them now.

It's that sugary twang that's hits the back of your throat. Unpleasant and ultimately very disappointing.

Marshmallows?? What is wrong with some people?? Sad

If it's any consolation I did the same thing OP. A batch of perfectly good Rice Krispie buns destroyed. I never thought it was possible to have too much butter and syrup, but I was wrong.Sad

Ta Kelly. Cheers, sob.Grin

I did the same thing. DH said 'just melt some chocolate' but I was all 'oh no the Internet says golden syrup and butter'. Gooey ming.

and? and?

KellyHopter · 20/08/2013 17:51

No but it's not a good twang it's horrible, so sugary it's almost chemical.

I'd like to learn from your mistake - should you have just melted the mars bars?

KellyHopter · 20/08/2013 18:12

I think so. Maybe a touch of butter if you don't like them to set really hard but the syrup is completely unnecessary and overpowers the lovely gooey marsy taste.

Basically, see this here?
Nasty little lies.
