MICROWAVE CANDY 
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. white syrup
Dash of salt
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Red food coloring

Put in microwave for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and add 1 1/2 cups raw peanuts or pecans and return to microwave for 7 minutes. Remove and add 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and red food coloring, if you use peanuts; no food coloring if you use pecans. Stir until creamy and drop on greased pan or waxed paper.

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