Quick Cracker Jacks

A ball park favorite in under ten minutes

When The Cincinnati Reds Manager Dusty Baker was on The Cooking with Caitlin Show (be sure to watch the episode) in the summer of 2009 Caitlin created this sweet and salty Cracker Jack recipe. Just pop the butter popcorn and add the salted nuts and sweet cinnamon and sugar and in just under ten minutes you will feel like you are sitting right behind home plate at a Cincinnati Reds game (or who ever your favorite baseball team may be).

Although this recipe does not include the toy in the bottom of the box it takes a few minutes and just four ingredients to make and is the perfect snack to keep in the house or to serve at your next party with Beer Braised Brats.
