I love Cracker Jacks, so this is my take on that classic baseball snack. A lot of steps, but it is so worth it. You can add peanuts or not. Up to you.

Mix it up. Half of the popcorn that I pop is for the caramel. The other half is for cheddar cheese popcorn.(Recipe to follow.)

Batter up!

Enjoy!

Since I was a kid, I remember sitting in the kitchen to watch and/or help my parents. As I grew up, I decided to try their recipes and experiment with different recipes. Some were very good and I re-make them all of the time. Others? Yeah, I never tried them again. All of the recipes that I post are the very good ones. Also, while growing up, my pops suffered from high blood pressure, so my mom stopped adding sodium. Since that is how I was raised, all of the dishes that I post do not have any extra sodium added to it. A lot of friends and family who try my recipes, either do not notice nor miss it. But in no way am I saying not to add salt if you use my recipes. If you want to add it, then go for it. In closing, I hope that you enjoy my recipes. If you use any, then please post pictures. Enjoy!
