1/2 c. light corn syrup
1 c. sugar
1 c. dry roasted peanuts
1 tsp. soft butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda

Combine corn syrup and sugar in 1 1/2 quart round microwave dish. Stir well until evenly blended. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir in nuts. Microwave on high 3 minutes until light brown. Stir in butter and vanilla, blending well. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes.

Add baking soda and stir gently, just until light and foamy. Quickly pour onto lightly greased baking sheet. Cool. Break into small pieces and store in airtight container. Makes about 1 pound.

NOTE: For clear caramel-type brittle, omit the baking soda. You can use pecans, cashews or almonds, instead of peanuts.
