Good flavor but very dry and crumbly. Will not make again.

Good recipe .. I couldn't spread the mixture, it was more like cookie dough, so I pressed it down .. They bars were very "crumbly" and broke apart .. but the taste is excellent!! I will make this again soon, maybe adding an extra egg will help .. thanks
