Directions:
Put the following ingredients in a large ( I use a two-quart) glass bowl and stir together. Just leave the wood spoon in the bowl.
» 1 cup raw peanuts
» 1 cup sugar
» 1/2 cup Karo syrup

Cook 9 minutes on High (microwave in the 5th Wheel) or 7 1/2 on High (microwave @ home)—this is kind of hard to judge as it depends on the wattage of the microwave. If the first batch doesn’t harden add about 1 1/2 minutes. If it seems burnt, reduce first cooking time by about 1 1/2 minutes. (Advantium Microwave is 7.5 minute total time).

Don’t remove the bowl. Just quickly add:
» 1 tsp butter
» 1 tsp vanilla.

Stir a little with a wood spoon and leave the spoon in the bowl.

Cook 1 1/2 min on high. (Advantium Microwave is 1 minute).


Carefully remove the bowl from microwave and stir in:
» 1 tsp soda

Use the wooden spoon to empty the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Don’t try to spread it—-it’ll spread by itself. (Other recipies suggest pre-warming the pan so that it levels out better). Let it cool, then remove it from the pan and break into pieces.
