DIXIE PEANUT BRITTLE 
1 1/2 c. raw shelled peanuts (skins on)
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

In a 1 1/2 quart casserole, stir together peanuts, sugar, syrup and salt. Put in microwave and cook 8 minutes on high, stirring after 4 minutes. Stir in butter and vanilla. Microwave 2 minutes longer on high. Add baking soda and quickly stir until light and foamy.

Immediately pour onto lightly greased baking sheet - spread out very thin. When cool, break into small pieces. Store in airtight container. Makes 1 pound.

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