Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 cups salted peanuts
1 teaspoon butter (no substitutes)

In a 2-qt. microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar and corn syrup. Heat, uncovered, on high for 4 minutes; stir. Heat 3 minutes longer. Stir in peanuts, butter and cinnamon.
Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30-60 seconds or until mixture turns a light amber color (mixture will be very hot). Quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla until light and foamy.
