Cook short amount of time for soft caramel. I prefer crunchy caramel corn - I just boiled longer to hard candy stage. I don't use thermometer- I test drops on a plate let cool for a minute to check hardness. If you have a thermometer 290F- 300F for crunchy I also added 1/4 tsp vanilla. Added sea salt and walnuts to popcorn before pouring caramel. Cooled caramel corn fast in freezer then drizzled chocolate over cooled corn. Might as well!! Go all in! Also I used 1 bag of microwave popcorn. I could have used 2 bags. But I wanted more caramel vs popcorn. Used large parchment lined cookie sheet to pour caramel over corn makes clean up easier.,For a cracker jack copy substitute 1-2 tbs of molasses for corn syrup. Remove 1-2 tbs of corn syrup and add 1-2 2 tbs molasses. Thats what gives cracker jacks its unique flavor!

My all time favorite thing to do is cook and bake. My love for cooking began my first year at college. It has grown into an obsession with recipes. Fortunately, my husband is supportive :) I love the Taste of Home magazines. Most of the recipes I try from their publications are outstanding. I also enjoy running long distances and exercising.
