I was always a big fan of Cracker Jacks (caramel corn), and this is the yummiest caramel corn on the planet!. If you use maple syrup and real butter, it’s quite healthy!
Homemade "Mimi Jacks"
Ingredients:
3 Qts Popped Corn
3 cups Mixed Unsalted Nuts Of Your Choice - We Love Dry Roasted Peanuts
1 cup Brown Sugar (I Use Raw Sugar)
½ cup Karo (I Use Maple Syrup)
½ cup Butter
½ tsp Vanilla
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Baking Soda
Directions:
Combine popcorn and nuts in large turkey roasting pan. Place in a 250 degree oven to keep warm.
Prepare glaze by combining sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a large heavy pot. Stir constantly till at a boil over med heat. Continue to boil 5 minutes w/o stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla then baking soda. The soda will make the mixture puff up so make sure you have a deep pan :-)
Remove roasting pan from oven and drizzle the glaze evenly over the corn mixture. Stir well with a metal spoon to coat evenly. Return to oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Cool and break apart. Store tightly covered.
This is so good. Dare I say better (definitely fresher!)than CrackerJacks?
Make it for your next potluck or football game party. Makes about 4 qts.
great!!!
