Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle
1 C granulated sugar
1/2 C light corn syrup
2 tbsp. water
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/4 C Spanish peanuts
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. baking soda

In a 2 1/2 quart, microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup,
water and salt;  stir well.  Cook uncovered on high  (100 percent power) for
5 minutes.  Stir in peanuts and cook uncovered 3 to 5 minutes until syrup
reaches the hard crack stage and is lightly golden in color.  (The hard crack
stage is achieved when a little candy syrup dropped into ice water separates
into hard, brittle threads.)
  Remove from the microwave oven;  stir in butter or margarine and baking
soda.  Pour mixture onto an oiled baking sheet, spreading to a 1/4 inch
thickness.  When cool, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
