ALMOST-FAMOUS CARAMEL CORN
Baseball and Cracker Jack (yes, it's Jack, not Jacks!) go way back: The caramel popcorn and peanut mix, introduced in 1893, hit the big time in the early 1900s when "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" became baseball's unofficial anthem. Today, baseball fans still sing the song (chanting "buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack") during the seventh inning stretch, and the snack is still sold at stadiums around the country. Frito-Lay keeps the original recipe a secret, but Food Network Kitchens created this great copy.

Steps:
- Put the vegetable oil and a few test popcorn kernels in a large pot. Heat over medium-high heat until the kernels pop, then carefully add the remaining kernels in a single layer. Cover and cook, shaking the pot, until there are several seconds between pops. Transfer the popcorn to a bowl. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Wipe out the pot, then add the sugar, corn syrup, molasses, peanut oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the peanuts. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until a candy thermometer registers 290 degrees F, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the popcorn until coated. Transfer the caramel corn to the prepared baking sheet and let cool, then break into small pieces.
PUFFED CARAMEL CORN
Puffed corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store. This is a great caramel corn without hulls or unpopped kernels. Warning: you need to make a double batch of this because it doesn't last long, at least not in my house. Very addicting. Love it!

Steps:
- Pop popcorn according to package directions.
- Have two bowls ready.
- Pour popcorn in one bowl.
- Gently Shake the bowl to get the seeds to the bottom of the bowl.
- Remove popcorn slowly into the second bowl leaving seeds in the 1st bowl.
- Toss seeds. Repeat with the second and third bag.
- Prepare 2 baking sheets with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 250*F
- In a pot, add butter and cook over medium heat until melted.
- Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
- Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring regularly so caramel doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
- After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pan from heat.
- Add vanilla extract and be prepared for the mixture to spit at you. Stir to incorporate.
- Add baking soda and stir. Mixture will become fluffy and increase in volume.
- Pour caramel mixture over your prepared popcorn.
- Stir well, careful not to touch the caramel mixture to your skin or it will burn you.

- Repeat 15 minute baking and stirring intervals until caramel corn has been baked 2 times total.

Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels for the best results. Avoid using old or stale kernels, as they may not pop as well.
- Heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the popcorn will burn. If the oil is not hot enough, the popcorn will not pop properly.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the oil and stir constantly. This will help to prevent the popcorn from sticking to the pot and burning.
- Once the popcorn starts to pop, cover the pot and shake it frequently. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- When the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and let it cool slightly.
- While the popcorn is cooling, make the caramel sauce. To do this, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the caramel sauce for 5 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. Remove the caramel sauce from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated. Spread the caramel corn out on a baking sheet and let it cool completely.
- Once the caramel corn has cooled, break it into pieces and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Caramel corn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give caramel corn a try. You won't be disappointed!
