Very old recipe from Libbie Wostrel via Ruth Moeller; she says it is like Cracker Jack; has burnt sugar flavoring.
Ingredients:
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon burnt sugar flavoring
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 cups popcorn, popped
1 cup peanuts
Directions:
1. In a sauce pan add brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt, and flavorings.
2. Boil 5 minutes; stir so it doesn't burn.
3. Take off heat and add baking soda.
4. Pour over 5 cups popped corn; she adds 12 cups is what recipe says.
5. Peanuts may be added but you could substitute other nuts if you wanted to.
6. Put on a cookie sheet or two 9x12 pans.
7. Bake; stir at least 2 times in 250 degree Fahrenheit oven for 1 hour.
8. After cooling can be stored in airtight containers.
9. Sticky while hot but dry when cooled.
