Crunchy Caramel Corn

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.
