Rose Mary's Notes:

This is one of many items that I am making for a Reunion. I chose this recipe not only because it is simple and easy, but because it has so much flavor, just a tad bit of butter makes all the difference. The Madagascar Vanilla Extract also helps. I made 5 batches of this in less than an hour. If you want simple and tasty then this is a great recipe to try. Thank GOODNESS FOR THE MICROWAVE. You will not beleive how good this recipe actually is, & it only takes 10 minutes to make.

Directions

Generously butter a cookie sheet with butter. Then set aside.

In a 2 quart microwave safe dish, combine sugar with light corn syrup. Stir to mix and Microwave on high for 4 minutes.

Stir in peanuts, and microwave on high for 4 more minutes or until lightly brown.

Stir in butter and Vanilla, blend well, and put back in microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove and stir in baking soda, and stir gently till light and foamy.

Pour onto prepared baking pan. Allow to cool for 30 minutes, then break into serving size pieces.

Notes: This is one of many simple and easy recipes in my cookbook, and it is very tasty & easy to make. You will wonder why you didn't make it sooner, with a recipe this easy.PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU NEED TO WORK QUICKLY WITH THIS RECIPE TO KEEP IT FROM HARDENING TO FAST in order to get it on your prepared pan.

Thanks Yellow Rose Of Texas. I will need to purchase some Mexican Vanilla one day and give it a try. But I have a half Gallon of the Homemade Madagascar Vanilla and need to use that up first. It is something I think I will always have on hand, because I like it that much. But I may purchase some of the other just to try it in comparison. Thanks Phyllis.

Thanks also for sharing the recipe. You will see other pictures and Recipes in this and next week, since I have about 25 plus DESSERT ITEMS ON THE MENU FOR THE REUNION THAT I AM DOING next weekend, down in Arkansas, FEATURING recipes from my cookbook and Recipe collection.

Thanks again, and BTW when your hubby makes this version, and realizes how easy and simple it is, he may never go back to the old method again. Smile.
