Snacks Even Lazy People Can Make
Homemade Cracker Jacks
Popcorn is one of my all-time favorite snacks. Every Christmas, our family buys one of those large tins filled with three different flavors. I always devour the butter and cheese varieties first, while my family gravitates towards the caramel flavor. It's been over six months since we enjoyed that delightful Christmas popcorn tin, and while we've had our fair share of cheese and butter popcorn since then, caramel has been missing from the mix. To recreate that delicious treat, I decided to make a special version reminiscent of Cracker Jacks, complete with a thick homemade caramel sauce and crunchy peanuts. This makes for an ideal after-school snack because it's both satisfying and easy to prepare, offering a fun, nostalgic twist on a classic treat.
