I mean BLACK. It looks like burnt! But tastes great.<br /> When I just sprinkle them on fruits and bake with butter and honey at the same temperature, they never change color, so I figured it must be the soda.</p> <p>Anyone experienced something like this and know what to do about it?</p> <p>thnx a lot. </p>
