Super easy to make and tastes great. No need for a candy thermometer!

Step: 1

Spray a baking sheet and a wooden spoon with cooking spray.

Step: 2

Mix sugar and corn syrup together in a microwaveable bowl safe for high temperatures.

Step: 3

Heat sugar mixture in microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Step: 4

Stir peanuts and butter into sugar mixture. Heat in microwave until mixture becomes a caramel color, 3 to 4 minutes.
