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

NOTE: This recipe is for a 700 watt oven.

Stir sugar and corn syrup together in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts. Microwave on high 4 minutes, until light brown. Add butter and vanilla to syrup, blending well.

Microwave on high 2 minutes. (Peanuts will be lightly browned and syrup VERY HOT!) Add soda and gently stir until light and foamy. Pour mixture on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Let cool 1 hour. Break into small pieces and store in an airtight container.

Makes 1 pound.

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