MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE 
1 1/2 c. unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda

In glass mixing bowl, combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook on high (100% power) 7 to 9 minutes until mixture is bubbling and peanuts are brown. Quickly stir in butter and vanilla; cook on high (100% power) 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add baking soda; stir quickly just until mixture is foamy. Pour immediately onto greased baking sheet. Let cool about 15 minutes until firm. Break peanut brittle into pieces; store in air tight container. Makes about 1 1/4 pounds.

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