Final Four prediction: My pick is Duke to bring the win home to N.C.! I think Kentucky will beat Wisconsin, and then Duke is going to take the win over Kentucky. Kentucky is the odds-on favorite, but Duke is on fire right now!Game day recipe: Crackersnacks Typically when you think of Cracker Jack, you think of baseball, but I think it is the perfect food for munching during any game. It is also really quick recipe to make. I don't know if you are like me, but when I'm watching basketball and things get more and more tense I find myself frantically snacking, and my snacking intensity increases with the intensity of the game. This crackersnacks recipe with its spiced caramel corn and roasted peanuts is perfect constant munching. Yield: 7 cups 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil 1/4 cup popcorn kernels 1 cup salted roasted peanuts 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika Pinch of cayenne 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering. Add the popcorn kernels, cover and shake the saucepan to coat the kernels with oil. Cook over moderate heat until the popping slows to several seconds between pops. Remove from the heat and wait 30 seconds, then pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Add the peanuts, cumin, cinnamon, paprika and cayenne and toss well to coat the popcorn. 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of oil with the sugar, salt and 1/4 cup of water and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until a light amber caramel forms, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel over the popcorn and toss quickly with spoons to evenly coat the popcorn and peanuts. Spread the popcorn mixture on the baking sheet in an even layer and let cool completely. Break into bite-size pieces.
