Awesome recipe--BE VERY CAREFUL! CANDY MAKING GETS VERY HOT!
1 C. Sugar
1 C. Raw Spanish peanuts
1 Tbsp. Butter
1 tsp. Baking soda
Mix syrup, sugar, and peanuts in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave for 5 to 8 minutes (until it just barely turns brown). Then add butter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from microwave and stir in baking soda and pour on buttered cookie sheet or marble slab.
*** I made this yesterday and left out the peanuts, put it in the microwave for 7 minutes, put in the butter and *forgot* to put it back in the microwave at all. I added the baking soda and poured it on a cookie sheet on parchment (of course ungreased). It turned out great! It broke just fine and the family ate up! :)
