Almost 'Cracker Jack'

List of Ingredients




4 qts Popped Popcorn
1 C Peanuts
4 T Butter
1 C Brown Sugar
1/2 C Light Corn Syrup
2 T Molasses
1/4 t Salt



Recipe



Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Combine popcorn and peanuts in a metal bowl
and place in oven. Combine the rest of ingredients in a saucepan. Stirring
over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil. Using a cooking thermometer,
bring mixture to a hard-ball stage (260-275), which takes approx. 20 to 25
min. Remove popcorn and peanuts from oven and work quickly to pour caramel
in a fine stream over them. Then put back in oven for 10 minutes. Mix well
every 5 minutes so that all the popcorn is coated. Cool and store in covered
container.
