And now that we are ADULTS, we can do whatever whatever we want.

Case in point: This is a God-tier cereal combination. You start with a base of chocolate, which is great, but adding peanut butter accents takes it to another level. And then the REESE'S PUFFS ARE FLOATING IN SUGARY CHOCOLATE MILK and it's time to freak out.

But it can also be so much more.
