NUTS AND BOLTS

Category: Snacks / Crackers / Chips

1/2 cup sugar and brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups pretzel sticks or nuggets
1/2 cup Spanish peanuts

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 5-8 minutes, stirring every 2-3 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 an airtight container.
