16 pieces

ingredients
- 1 cup raw peanuts (with husks) or 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 dash salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon butter or 1 teaspoon margarine
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
directions
- Mix the first 4 ingredients in a microwave dish, I use a deep Corning casserole about 9”X9”X5". Microwave on high 2 minutes then stir. Microwave another 2 minutes and stir again. Microwave for 4 more minutes.
- Add 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp vanilla, stir and microwave another 1.5 minutes.
- Remove from microwave, should be boiling good by now and add 1 tsp baking soda, stir and then spread on greased cookie sheet to cool. Don't worry if it doesn't reach the edges and corners of the cookie sheet -- just try to spread it out to about 1/8" thickness.
- Break into serving pieces after the candy cools thoroughly.
