1 1/2 c. skinned raw peanuts (about 1/2 lb.)
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
Dash of salt
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda

Mix peanuts, sugar, syrup, and salt in a glass mixing bowl. Cook 7 to 9 minutes on high; mixture should be bubbling and peanuts browned. Quickly stir in butter and vanilla; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add baking soda and stir quickly, just until mixture is foamy. Pour immediately onto a greased baking sheet. Let cool 15 minutes or longer. Break up peanut brittle and store in an airtight container. Makes about 1 pound and 3 ounce.
