Second, my formating was intended for clarity's sake only. 

Your response ("First, it's much more polite to post in plain text...")
was inappropriate. 

"Politeness" had absolutely nothing to do with it...

I suggest that a better response might have been:

"No need to use any but plain text for your questions."

Or,

"Please post all future questions in plain text."


Just because you are smart or well versed in XL, doesn't mean that you
have the right to be impolite, yourself.

Second, XL stores times as fractional days, so one minute corresponds to 
1/(24*60) = 1/1440. 

One way (format all cells as times, if necessary):

C1:      =A1
D1:      =A1 + B1/1440

C2:      =D1
D2:      =C2 + B2/1440

Copy C2:D2 down as far as required.

Note: If your times span midnight, XL will, if the cells are displayed 
as times, "roll over" the display - i.e., 1.25 displays as 6:00 AM. If 
you want to roll over the *value* (i.e., 11:00 PM + 240 minutes = 0.125 
rather than 1.125):

C1:      =A1
D1:      =MOD(A1 + B1/1440, 1)

C2:      =D1
D2:      =MOD(C2 + B2/1440, 1)
