1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix sugar and corn syrup in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts, microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, or until light brown. Add butter and vanilla, to syrup and peanut mixture. Mix well, microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Use a pot holder, the bowl will be hot. Add baking soda, and stir until foamy.
