Ingredients:

  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 c. pretzel sticks or knots
  • 1/2 c. Spanish peanuts (other nuts can be substituted)
Directions:

In a 3-quart microwave container (preferably not glass), combine sugars and water. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes; stir well. Microwave uncovered 5 to 8 minutes, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, or until firm ball forms (when small amount is dropped in cold water). Watch the mixture carefully, as it burns quickly after passing the point of being done. Stir in vanilla, pretzels and peanuts until mixture sugars. Spread on wax paper. Let stand until firm. Store in airtight container.
