Peanut Brittle in the Microwave

2 cups sugar    
2 tsp butter (I use about a Tbsp)
1 cup light Karo syrup  
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups salted peanuts (w/out skins)
2 tsp baking soda

Combine sugar and syrup. Microwave for 1-2 minutes. Add peanuts and stir. Microwave until light brown (9-14 minutes). Add butter and vanilla and stir. Microwave 1-2 minutes. Add baking soda and stir well. Pour onto greased pan (I use butter flavored Pam spray). Let cool about 1-2 hours. Break into pieces when hardened.
