Instructions: Mix sugar, syrup and salt together well. Put in microwave for 2 minutes. Take out, add peanuts and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes more. Stir and cook for 4 more minutes. Add butter, stir and cook 2 more minutes. (this is where I watch closely if making several batches it will burn towards the last few seconds.) Add vanilla and baking soda in that order, stir and quickly pour onto buttered cookie sheet. Spread thin, and stretch thin, with forks or greased fingers. I have found a difference of 30 seconds between microwave ovens. (Between 9 1/2 and 10 minutes, total cooking time.) A round Corning ware or deep glass bowl, works well. Dish will get very hot!
