Servings 1 lb.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups raw shelled peanuts, skins on
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Combine peanuts, sugar, syrup and salt in a 1 1/2 quart microwave-safe bowl. Cook 8 minutes on high, stirring well after 4 minutes (cooking time may vary by oven). Stir in butter and vanilla.
  • Microwave 2 minutes longer on high. Add baking soda and quickly stir until light and foamy. Immediately pour onto lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Do not spread with a spoon to maintain the light, airy texture. Cool completely and break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
