HOMEMADE CRACKER JACKS
HOMEMADE CRACKER JACKS
4 c Popped corn
1 c Peanuts
1/2 c Molasses
1/4 c Sugar
A candy thermometer is handy to have for this recipe to test the
temperature of the syrup that binds the popcorn and nuts together.
Mix popcorn and peanuts together in a large bowl or pan.
Cook molasses and sugar together until the mixture reaches a temperature of
235 degrees on a candy thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, test
the syrup by letting some drop from a spoon into a cup of cold water. The
syrup is done when it forms a thread as it drops into the water.
Pour hot syrup mixture over the popcorn nut mixture and stir to coat
evenly. Cool and break into chunks with a wooden spoon. Stored in an
airtight container, mixture will keep well for for about 6 weeks , don't see it lasting that long tho
Makes about 40 oz.
