1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. peanuts, cashews or mixed nuts
1 tsp. corn oil butter

1 tsp. baking soda

Spray cookie sheet and metal spatula with cooking spray. In 2 quart microwaveable glass bowl stir sugar, corn syrup and salt with wooden spoon until well mixed. Microwave at 100% High 7 to 8 minutes or until syrup is pale yellow. (Candy syrup is very hot.) Handle carefully, do not touch hot mixture. Stir in nuts. Microwave 1 to 2 minutes or until nuts are lightly browned. Immediately stir in butter, vanilla and baking soda until foamy. Quickly pour onto prepared cookie sheet, spread evenly with spatula. Cool. Break into pieces and store in tightly covered container. Makes about 1 1/4 pounds. Cooking times are based on full size (600-700 watt) microwave ovens.

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