This microwave peanut brittle is a wonderful recipe, but you should only make it once a year because you can't stop eating it!

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 cup salted peanuts
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

Method

Grease a cookie sheet; set aside. Combine sugar and corn syrup in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. Stir in peanuts and microwave on high for 3 1/2 minutes more. Stir in butter and vanilla: microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
Stir in baking soda until light and foamy; immediately pour onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread thin. Cool completely. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
