PEANUT BRITTLE 
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1 c. roasted, salted peanuts
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda

Power level - high. Microwave time - 8 to 11 minutes.

In 1 1/2 quart casserole, stir together sugar and syrup. Microwave at high 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts. Microwave at high 3 to 5 minutes, until light brown. Add butter and vanilla to syrup, blending well. Microwave high 1 to 2 minutes more. Peanuts will be lightly browned and syrup very hot. Add baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy.

Pour mixture onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Let cool 1/2 to 1 hour. When cool, break into small pieces and store in airtight container. Makes 1 pound.

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