CRACKER JACK - COPYCAT
This recipe has never failed me. The popcorn turns out sweet, buttery and very crispy. If you want caramel corn, just use light corn syrup instead of dark.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Spray a sheet pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray as well and set aside.
- Combine the popcorn and peanuts in a large mixing bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla and stir until combined. Heat the mixture until it reaches 250 degrees F, approximately 10 minutes.
- Pour the syrup over the popcorn and stir to combine. You will need to work quickly because the syrup hardens rapidly. Spread the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and bake in the oven for 1 hour. Cool completely.
- Break into pieces and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.
CRACKER JILL (CRACKER JACK COPYCAT)
I found this in a Chicago Tribune article on Chicago baseball history. They called Cracker Jack the "primordial American snack". I don't know about that but I do know that this stuff is really tasty!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 250°; line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pour oil and corn into a large pot; cover, heat over medium high and when sound of popping slows down, turn off the heat, slide the lid open just enough to let steam, but not wayward popcorn explosions, escape; pick out any old maids (unpopped kernels) and set aside.
- Mix molasses, sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat until the mixture reaches the hard-ball stage on a candy thermometer, 260°; stir in the butter, then the baking soda and salt.
- The mixture will turn a light caramel color and rise up in a bubbling mass; be prepared but not alarmed.
- Stir in the peanuts until coated with caramel.
- Pour the peanut-caramel mixture over the popcorn, which is still in it's large pot, and turn with a rubber spatula until nicely coated.
- Turn out the popcorn mixture onto the baking sheets; using your spatula, spread it out evenly.
- Crisp in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice; turn off the heat, but leave the caramel corn inside until cool, an hour or more; break up any chunks.

COPY CAT CRACKER JACK FOOD NETWORK VERSION
This is from the May 2013 issue of Food Network Magazine. Just made it with mixed results... I don't know if it was using Splenda or me learning to use induction but it cooked up WAAAAY quicker than they said, and didn't coat all the pieces. But the flavor is spot on. I am posting their recipe with the substitution of Splenda for sugar just to see if the carbs are even reasonable for a diabetic. But if you don't have that concern I'd fall back on real sugar.
