Peanut Brittle

Well, guys, it's the Christmas season. Dad made some peanut brittle last night. I'm guessing most of you don't have the renowned "JC Penney Microwave Cookbook," so I thought I'd post the recipe here.

Peanut Brittle
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1-1.5 cups uncooked peanuts
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

Combine first three ingredients and cook on high 10 minutes, stopping twice to stir. Immediately add remaining ingredients, stir, and divide onto two well-buttered cookie sheets, spread as thinly as possible.

*Dad always does this in the microwave. Try it out on the stove if you want to be a little crazy.
