PEANUT BRITTLE 
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1 c. roasted, salted peanuts
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

In 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, mix sugar and corn syrup well and microwave at High for 3 minutes, then add roasted salted peanuts. Microwave again for 3 or 4 minutes, until light brown. Add butter and vanilla; mix well and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Peanuts will be lightly browned and syrup very hot. Add baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy. Pour mixture onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Let cool 1/2 to 1 hour. When done, break into small pieces and store in a tight container.

Remember, it's very hot.

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