- Cook a batch and throw in some extra nuggets!
- Serve your family half and quickly hide the rest. I happen to know from a good source that kids can mow through dozens of these at time…
- Put them in a container and place them in the vegetable drawer. I promise, they wont look there.
- Create and enjoy!
