*Try this with a hot fudge sauce and topped with peanuts.

In glass bowl, combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook in microwave for six to seven minutes on high; mixture should be bubbly and peanuts browned. Stir in butter and vanilla. Cook two to three minutes more.

Quickly stir in baking soda, just until mixture is foamy. Pour immediately onto greased baking sheet. Let cool 15 minutes, or until set. Break into pieces and store in airtight container.
