Microwave peanut brittle

How to make microwave peanut brittle:

Power Level: High (10)

Microwave Time: 8 to 11 minutes total

In 1 1/2-quart casserole, stir together sugar and syrup. Microwave on High 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts. Microwave at High 2 minutes. Add butter and vanilla to syrup blending well; microwave at High 2 minutes more. Peanuts will be lightly brown and syrup very hot. Add baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy. Pour mixture onto lightly greased cookie sheet or unbuttered nonstick coated cookie sheet. Let cool 1/2 to 1 hour. When cool, break into small pieces and store in airtight container. (I use 2 cookie sheets and pour half on each. As it is cooling, I pull it so that it becomes thinner. It has a more "flaky texture"!)
