Crunchy Caramel Corn

July 7th, 2010

In keeping with the current baseball game/carnival-inspired food theme, I made my first batch of Cracker Jacks this past weekend (using a variation of this recipe).   If you’re a fan of the boxed original, the homemade variety is even more incredible, with the same balance of sweet and salty, but with a true caramel flavor.  Since we had friends over to watch a game, I whipped up a batch and served them in gingham bags for a fun, vintage feel.

    yum! i make a ton of homemade (organic) popcorn (it’s an awesome and healthy vegan snack). we’re big fans of popcorn, my husband can literally finish a large movie popcorn in one sitting! i’ve made a few versions (a bit lighter and healthier) at home such as cinnamon spice and “buttery” salt. i should totally see if i can do a vegan caramel version!
    thanks for the inspiration!
