2 1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
Dash of salt
1 (15 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Place butter in large buttered 7x12 inch mixing bowl. Microwave on 70% power (medium high) for 1 minute. Blend in brown sugar, corn syrup, condensed milk and salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave 10 minutes on high; stir well. Microwave uncovered 16 to 18 minutes on 70%. Candy should reach 240 degrees or form a ball in cold water. Mix in vanilla and pour in buttered dish. Cool to room temperature before cutting. Cut and wrap in waxed paper. Makes about 84 (1 inch) pieces.

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