That's what I am doing is following directions on the bottle my husband figured the math for me because math is not my friend. Lol

I don't hate math? I took Calculus in high school and almost went into computer engineering. I guess it's fun at times, figuring out a problem. Although in my last semester of college, I wanted to chuck my laptop out of our apartment window because the math was so tedious and annoying. Passed the class, but wasn't fun
 
I don't understand what is not to like? I mean, it's fluffy, sweet bliss coated in sugar with just about the best texture ever. I love them!
They are really cheerful too! Gotta give em that

I do appreciate the variety of colors they come in, and the classic experiment of melting them in a microwave.

Yup... clearly sadistic.
 
That's what I had last night, and it was so delicious... I've been on a Quesabirra kick, but instead of just dipping in consomé, I also dip in guac and my local restaurant's spiciest sauce. I could have it every day. 😂
