PEANUT BRITTLE (MICROWAVE)

1 cup roasted salted nuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 t butter
1 t vanilla
1 t baking soda

Stir together peanuts, sugar and syrup in a bowl or casserole.  Microcook on high for 7-8 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.  Add butter and vanilla, stirring well.  Cook on high 1-2 minutes more until peanuts are lightly browned and syrup is hot.  Add baking soda and stir gently until light and foamy.  Pour immediately onto greased cookie sheet and let cool at least 1/2 hour.  When cool break into pieces and store in an airtight container.  Makes approximately 1 pound.

This is fast and easy.  I love the old-school terminology "microcook."  They must have thought they were entering the age of the future with this!  Good tasting too.
