Grandma's Microwave Peanut Brittle

*From the kitchen of Katie Hancock

This is my g-ma Girard's recipe.

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1 c. dry roasted peanuts
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. baking soda

Use a deep Pyrex dish. Mix well the sugar and corn syrup. Cook on high for 4 mins. Add and stir in quickly the nuts. Cook on high for 5 mins. Add the vanilla and butter. Cook on high for 1 min. Remove from microwave and add the baking soda, stir vigorously. Pour quickly onto a greased cookie sheet. Spread as thin as possible. Break up when cooled.
