1 c. raw peanuts
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Stir together nuts, sugar, syrup and salt in a 1 1/2 quart casserole, or 4 cup glass measuring cup. Place in microwave and cook 7 to 8 minutes, stirring well after 4 minutes. Add butter and blend well. Return to microwave and cook 2 to 3 minutes more or until nuts are golden brown. Add baking soda and vanilla and gently stir until light and foamy. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet and let cool. When cool break into pieces.

If using nuts other than peanuts, stir nuts in after first four minutes of cooking.
