Microwave Peanut Brittle - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 c. raw peanuts
    1 c. sugar
    1/2 c. white syrup
    1/8 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 tsp. butter
Preparation
    In a microwavable bowl, add first 3 ingredients.
    Microwave on High for 5 minutes.
    Stir well.
    Microwave on High for 5 more minutes.
    Add butter and vanilla.
    Stir well.
    Microwave on High 2 minutes.
    Add soda (this will foam up).
    Stir completely.
    Pour onto a lightly buttered cookie sheet.
    Spread out as best as possible.
    Cool completely.
    Break into small pieces.
    Do not store in plastic container.
    If more than one batch is made at the same time, microwave on High at 4 1/2, 4 1/2 and 2; third batch on High at 4, 4 and 2 minutes.
    (Microwave gets hot and peanut brittle would burn if cooked at the first time limit.)
