Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup light corn syrup
• 2 cups roasted or dry roasted peanuts
• 1 teaspoon butter + additional for baking sheets
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

• Butter for greasing baking sheets. Generously grease cookie sheets with butter and set aside.
• Combine sugar and corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in microwave (based on 1000 watt) on high for 3-1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave.
• Stir in peanuts using wooden spoon. Place back in microwave and cook on high for 2-1/2 minutes.
• Remove and stir in butter and vanilla, return to microwave, and cook on high, again for 1:40 minutes. Candy should register 300 degrees on candy thermometer. (Once you know how your microwave cooks you will not need to use a candy thermometer but can rely on the time.)
• Blend in baking soda and stir until light and foamy (happens quickly) and pour immediately onto prepared baking sheet, spreading quickly to thin out.
• Set on wire rack to cool. Once cool remove from sheet and break into pieces. Store in airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
