Peanut Brittle - Microwave

Ingredients:
1 cup             Granulated sugar
1 cup             Raw, unsalted peanuts
1/2 cup           Light Karo syrup
                 

Instructions:
Mix these three ingredients.
  Cook mixture in the microwave for five to seven minutes on HIGH.  (Stir twice during cooking.)
  Remove mixture from microwave after it has cooked and add 1 teaspoon margarine and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  Place mixture in microwave again and cook an additional two to three minutes on HIGH.
  Remove mixture from microwave and add 1 teaspoon baking soda.  Stir quickly and pour onto a greased cookie sheet.
 You must work quickly during last step as mixture hardens rapidly.

Important: One must experiment with the cooking times because of likely variation in your microwave’s power.
Tip: To clean the bowl you have cooked with, boil some water and pour into the bowl.
