homemade cracker jacks

By sanmo_babe

Ingredients

• 20 cups of popped popcorn (measure after popping should be 20 cups...use microwave popcorn or homemade)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Preparation

Step 1

Put the cookie sheets in the oven. Set the timer for 7 minutes. When the timer goes off, stir the popcorn. Set the timer for 8 minutes. Close the oven. When the timer goes off, take the cookie sheets out of the oven.

When popcorn is still hot, scoop popcorn into the grocery bags or divide it between the lunch sacks. Let them sit for 3 minutes. Then...carefully fold over the top of the bag and begin to shake. Shaking helps the cracker jacks from sticking together.

After you have shaken the bag for about 2 minutes, the popcorn should be cool enough to touch.
