• Combine sugar and evaporated milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. (stir constantly to prevent scorching).

• Drop mixture by small teaspoon onto waxed paper.
• Allow candies to firm before serving.

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup of sugar into heavy pan and place over low heat.
• Begin stirring with wooden spoon and keep sugar moving; it will take about 15 minutes to completely melt all sugar and it should be the color of light brown sugar syrup.
• Pour remaining sugar, together with 1 cup milk, in heavy kettle and set over low heat to cook slowly while you are melting sugar.
• As soon as the sugar is melted, begin pouring it into kettle of boiling milk.
• Pour slowly, continue cooking and stirring just until mixture is 238 degrees to 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Turn out the fire and immediately add baking soda, stirring hard as it foams up.
• As soon as soda is mixed, add butter; it will melt as you stir.
• Set pan of candy off the stove for 20 minutes until lukewarm.
• Add vanilla and begin beating using a wooden spoon.
• Beat until mixture is thickened and glossy.
• Add broken nuts and mix.
• Turn into a buttered pan.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 250 deg.
• Place butter in a medium pot, on medium heat.
• While the butter's melting, pop the corn and put it in a large roasting pan. I used a disposable aluminum pan and a hot air popper (you won't need to butter the pan).
• Keep an eye on the butter and add the sugar, molasses, and salt to it as soon as its melted.
• Bring the candy to a boil and stir and cook it only till the sugar melts and the butter blends in entirely - just a couple minutes.
• Turn off the heat and stir the vanilla and peanuts into the candy.
• Quickly add the baking soda and stir untill it's well mixed. It foams to make a lighter, more delicate candy.
• Pour the candy over the popcorn and toss untill it's evenly coated.
• Put the popcorn in the oven for 1 hour, tossing every 15 or 20 minutes.
• Let it cool completely before breaking up and putting into an airtight container.
• I developed this recipe by hacking others because I couldn't find another to suit me. I made this for Christmas treats and it was INHALED, you'll find it tastes like Cracker Jack; that candy is made with molasses, not corn syrup, I got a box yersterday to compare.
• You can easily double this, but double the baking time too.
