10 MINUTE PEANUT BRITTLE 
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 - 1 1/2 c. roasted, salted peanuts
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

Combine sugar, syrup and salt in 2 quart casserole or mixing bowl. Microwave at high 5 minutes. Stir in peanuts. Microwave 2-5 minutes, stirring after 2-4 minutes, until syrup and peanuts are lightly browned. Stir in butter, vanilla and soda until light and foamy.

Spread to 1/4 inch thickness on large, well buttered cookie sheet. When completely cool, lift off cookie sheet and break into bite size pieces. (Twisting and bending cookie sheet will help loosen it.)

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
