I used cashews in place of peanuts and honey in place of corn syrup because that is what I had on hand. The cashews got really dark...borderline burnt. I think next time let the first cooking time go another minute and the after adding the nuts in just go another minute or two. I'm waiting for it to cool now so I'll have to comment again on the taste. Hopefully, it doesn't taste burnt??? I think this is a GREAT recipe, but the difference in microwaves will make a difference and it's one of those I'll have to play around with to get it perfect. :)
