HUGE Recipe FAIL – Pictures Included
If you know anything about me – I love cooking and I post recipes I make almost everyday – check them all out HERE ( There are about 800 to choose from )
On Saturday I was cooking with my dad a few recipes – each week we are making a recipe from this vintage recipe box I found filled with recipe from a woman named Marie ( find out more HERE )
We decided to tackle her Cracker Jack recipe
Sigh…..
I have never made Cracker Jack before — and the recipe was enough to feed a small army so tried to bring the proportions down…
Somewhere my math skills went wonky and you can see in the picture above that
It is ONE HOT mess – I had WAY too much molasses ( which was suppose to be mixed with honey in a hot pan ) that worked fine till it was poured on the popcorn – BEYOND a sticky mess
My dad also got burned with BOILING MOLASSES HONEY — which I still feel awful about
but we did not quit even when the popcorn turned out like this
We started again — and again the popcorn did not work out – at this point I want to crawl in a little ball and cry
But my dad did not let me quit — seriously we made the HUGEST mess EVER — we even got molasses on the kitchen floor and somehow my parent’s dog Buttons got this horrible Cracker Jack on her fur
Never in my life have I had such a colossal fail in the kitchen and such a mess – it was almost funny
BUT FINALLY the third time around WE GOT IT!!!! I will posting the Cracker Jack Recipe tomorrow at 1 pm PST ( 3/25) I really hope you check out the recipe tomorrow – I know I say that a lot for y’all to check out our recipes but if you only check one out please let it be the one tomorrow
