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

1. In 1 1/2 quart casserole, stir together sugar and syrup. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.

2. Stir in peanuts. Microwave on high 3-5 minutes, until light brown.

3. Add butter and vanilla to syrup, blending well. Microwave on high 1-2 minutes more. Peanuts will be browned and syrup very hot.

4. Add baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy.

5. Pour mixture onto lightly greased cookie sheet, or unbuttered nonstick coated cookie sheet.

6. Let cool 1/2 to 1 hour. When cool, break into small pieces, and store in airtight container. Makes about 1 pound.

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