Mary Stuart's Peanut Brittle


1 c. sugar
½ c. white corn syrup

In a 1 ½ quart casserole dish stir together the sugar and syrup.
Microwave on high for 4 minutes

Stir in 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until light brown.

Add 1 tsp. butter and 1 tsp. vanilla. Blend well. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes.
Be careful! Syrup is very hot!

Add 1 tsp baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy.

Pour mixture onto lightly greased cookie sheet or unbuttered non-stick coated cookie sheet (or sheet lined with parchment paper!)

Let cool for ½ to 1 hour. Have fun breaking it.
