Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
0.5 cup light corn syrup
1 cup salted peanuts
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Grease a cookie sheet and set it aside for later use. In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and corn syrup.
Microwave on high power for 4 minutes, making sure to stir the mixture halfway through. Add the peanuts and microwave on high for another 3 ½ minutes. Incorporate the butter and vanilla, then microwave for a final 1 ½ minutes.
Quickly stir in the baking soda; the mixture will become light and foamy. Immediately pour it onto the prepared cookie sheet, spreading it into a thin layer. Allow the brittle to cool completely before breaking it into pieces and storing it in an airtight container.
