1 c. raw peanuts
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

In a 1 1/2 quart casserole stir together peanuts, sugar, syrup and salt. Cook 8 minutes on high in microwave oven stirring well after 4 minutes. Stir in butter and vanilla. Microwave 2 minutes longer on high. Add baking soda and quickly stir until light and foamy.

Immediately pour onto lightly greased baking sheet; spread out very thin. When cool break until small pieces. Store in airtight container. Makes 1 pound.

Roasted peanuts may be used instead of raw, but they must be added right before the baking soda.
