Personal Notes:
This recipe handed down to Chuck Welter from his father-in-law, Floyd Mayne, was a favorite of the Welter children. Oompa and Omi use to make cackerjack balls for the children in the neighborhood at Halloween. Granddaughter, Mackenzie Dotson, remembers the big Cracker Jack cooking attempt in the cottage at Grace Ridge. (look for how to pop popcorn under 'Treats & Snacks) Libby
