This is great for the holidays, quick and easy, delicious. Nice for gifts or for your own table.

Microwave Peanut Brittle

1 c raw peanuts
1 1/2 c light Karo syrup
1 c sugar
1 T butter
1 t vanilla
1 t baking soda

Combine peanuts, syrup and sugar in microwave safe
container, an 8-cup Pyrex mixing bowl with handle is
perfect. Cook on high for 7 minutes.

Add butter, cooking 2 minutes more on high. Add vanilla
and baking soda to mixture; blend and pour out on greased
platter or cookie sheet. Break apart when cool.

For Cashew Brittle, substitute cashews for the peanuts.
Likewise, other nuts can be substituted for the peanuts.
