Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted peanuts
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp real vanilla extract

  2. In a large microwave safe bowl stir peanuts, sugar, syrup and salt together. Be sure to mix them well. (rubber spatula works really well).
  3. Microwave for 3 minutes 45 seconds to 4 minutes.
  4. Stir with a metal spoon so it doesnt stick. Stir it quickly so it doesnt have time to cool.
  5. Microwave 3 1/2 to 4 more minutes.
  6. Stir in butter.
  7. Microwave 2 more minutes.
