Borden Cracker Jack recipe

Ingredients:
4 quarts popped popcorn (or 2 bags microwave popcorn).
1 cup Spanish peanuts.
4 tablespoons butter.
1 cup brown sugar.
Half a cup light corn syrup.
2 tablespoons molasses.
Quarter teaspoon salt.

Procedures:
1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Combine the popcorn and peanuts in a metal bowl, and place in the preheated oven. Mix all the remaining ingredients in a saucepan stirring over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook
for 20 to 25 minutes or until you notice the mixture turning a slightly darker brown.

2. Remove the popcorn and peanuts form the oven,
and working quickly pour the caramel mixture in a fine stream over them. Then place back in the oven for 15 minutes. Mix well every 5 minutes, so
that all of the popcorn is coated. Cool and store in a covered container to preserve freshness.

Makes 4 quarts.
