Only to realize that I still need to improve. The peanuts just didn&#8217;t glue with the pop-corn because my caramel sauce should&#8217;ve had more butter &amp; water. But I&#8217;m glad that I attempted to perfect it, traced the cause of my failure and that I&#8217;m still eager to perfect it.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/prasadgupte.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/wpid-wp-1409385899693.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The caramel topping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/prasadgupte.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/wpid-wp-1409385899699.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Putting it together<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A year I tried this recipe for\u00a0Homemade Cracker Jack and it turned out great!
