Cracker Janes ~ To Remember


For the Love of Popcorn!

Cracker Janes are our homemade verson of Cracker Jacks...but they are SO much better (in my humble opinion) and so easy to make, you can remember the recipe!

1Cup each: Honey, butter, unpopped popcorn kernals

Preheat oven to moderate temp (350F).
1. Pop the popcorn. In a saucepan, melt the butter and honey together. Pour the honey-butter all over the popped popcorn - mix well to coat.
2. Spread popcorn on a cookie sheet(s) lined with parchment paper and bake until crisp and slightly orange tint for about 8-12 minutes. (Not too long. It just depends on how think you spread your popcorn.) Cool before serving. (It will hurt if you don't!) :-)

It keeps and travels well.

**Variation: May add nut of choice to popped popcorn, when mixing topping in...but you also many want to decrease your popcorn amount a little (3/4C) to keep your sauce to munchie ratio good. :-)
