1 cup sugar

1/2 cup Steen's Southern Made Syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup roasted, salted peanuts

1 teaspoon butter

1 teaspoon baking soda

1. In a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish stir together the sugar and syrup and microwave on high for 4 minutes.

2. Next, stir in peanuts, and microwave on high for approximately 4 minutes (until light brown).

3. Add butter and vanilla to syrup, blending well.

4. Microwave 1 to 2 minutes more. Peanuts will be light brown and syrup will be very hot.

5. Add baking soda and gently stir until light and foamy. Pour mixture onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Let cool for a half hour (at least).

When cool, break into small pieces and store in air-tight container.
