I wonder what the corn starch does for it. Does it maintain the flow/shakeability?

My family are huge Lawrys fans, have you tried it and does it really taste like it? I would love to make it, but want to make sure. TIA

KFC Coleslaw

Ingredients


8 cups finely chopped cabbage (1 head)
1/4 cup finely grated or chopped carrots
1/4 cup finely grated green bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced onions
1/2 cup Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup sugar


Directions


Finely Chop the Cabbage and put in large mixing bowl.
Add the other ingredients and mix well.
Put in a container and refrigerate covered. I use a half gallon plastic ice cream container. I find it best to sit over night or for several hours -- for the flavors to blend and allow the sugar to bring out the juices. It's quite juicy so you might want to serve it in separate bowls.

Cracker Jack Copycat Recipe

Do you remember Cracker Jack? Well I sure do and I was always excited about the surprise toy inside the box. Now you can make your own.
Ingredients


4 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup peanuts
4 Tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 Tablespoons molasses
1/4 teaspoon salt
*For a different taste you could always used Lowrey's seasoned salt.


Directions


Preheat the oven to 250° F.
Combine the popcorn and peanuts on a cookie sheet and place in the oven.
Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a saucepan.
Stirring over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
Using a cooking thermometer, bring the mixture to the hard-crack stage (290°F, or the point at which the syrup, when dripped into cold water, forms a hard but a pliable ball).
This will take about 20 to 25 minutes (or until you notice the mixture turning a slightly darker brown).
Remove the popcorn and peanuts from the oven and, working quickly, pour the caramel mixture in a fine stream over them.
Then place them back in the oven for 10 minutes.
Mix well every five minutes, so that all of the popcorn is coated.
Cool and serve or the mixture can be stored in a covered container.
