How to make it

  • Pop corn and remove UN-popped kernals.
  • Spread corn in a large flat pan, and preheat in a 250-degree F. oven.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter, and stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
  • Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
  • Continue to boil without stirring for about 5 minutes (240 degrees F).
  • Remove from heat, and add baking soda and vanilla, stirring until foamy. If nuts are used, add them NOW, stirring until heated through, and no longer clumped up.
  • Pour syrup mixture over preheated popcorn, and stir to coat. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times to evenly distribute the coating.
  • Bake longer, about 60 minutes, for a more Cracker Jack taste. Cool, break up and store airtight

    This sounds ab-fab, GF. I like the idea of a cracker jack type recipe with more than just peanuts. Have a wonderful day....Cheryl
