1 c. raw peanuts
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt

Butter cookie sheets. Stir all ingredients and cook on high for 4 minutes. Remove and stir; put back in microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon butter. Stir and cook 1 minute. Remove and add 1 teaspoon baking soda and stir quickly. Pour on cookie sheet. Spread with silver knife. Cool and break into pieces. The cooking time is for a high power microwave.

If you have a low wattage microwave, you will have to increase the cooking time from 4 minutes to 6 minutes and 3 minutes to 4 minutes. The last cooking stage of 1 minute stays the same.
