By Jaclyn

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c. lightly salted peanuts
• 1 c. white sugar
• 1/2 c. light corn syrup
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 T. butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a glass bowl, combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Cook in microwave for 6 to 7 minutes on High; mixture should be bubbly and peanuts lightly browned. Stir in butter and vanilla; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer.
2. Quickly stir in baking soda, just until mixture is foamy. Pour immediately onto greased baking sheet. Let cool 15 minutes, or until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
