If you love sweet and salty, then you are going to love this recipe! The toffee mix and the caramel sauce, combined with the kettle corn and sea salt is a wonderful flavor combination. These are a tasty treat everyone will love! My personal spin on Cracker Jacks. I make these for ball games & tailgates. Many people enjoy my version and have named it the Cracker Jill.
