Family Hack of the Week

Celebrate the start of baseball season with this Cracker Jack recipe courtesy of Allrecipes.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Pop 11 cups of popcorn and spread on the bottom of a deep roasting pan. Sprinkle 1 cup Spanish peanuts on top.

In a large saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar, 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (cubed), 1/4 cup dark corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon Kosher salt over medium-high heat. Whisk constantly until butter and sugar are melted and sauce is thick and caramelized, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour sauce over popcorn and peanuts; stir until well coated. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramel and popcorn are crisped. Remove from oven and turn popcorn out in a single layer on parchment paper to cool.
