Microwave Peanut Brittle

I know I said that Grandma Solomon's peanut brittle was the best I had ever tasted...Well this tastes just like hers but oh so much easier to make....I'm sure if she was still with us, this is how she would make it...I don't remember her having a microwave.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1/4 teasp salt

1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1 tblsp butter
1 teasp vanilla
1 teasp baking soda

In a 4 cup glass Pyrex measuring cupc, stir together sugar, syrup, and salt. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, remove and stir in peanuts. Return to Microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. Remove from microwave and stir in Butter, vanilla and baking soda (it will foam up). Pour onto a greased cookie sheet or foil (or if giving as gifts spray pie 3 pans with pam and divide into pans. Spread with a greased spoon WORK FAST. the thinner you can spread the easier it is to eat.

do not double this recipe.
