Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes (plus time to cool)

Ingredients

Here’s how to make it:

  1. Mix peanuts, sugar, and corn syrup in a microwavable dish (a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup is perfect, and the handle won’t get hot!). Cook on high for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir halfway through.
  2. Add vanilla and butter and continue cooking on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Mixture should be darkened.
  3. Add baking soda and stir quickly (it foams). Pour onto lightly greased cookie sheet, spreading thin. Let cool and break into pieces.
