It needs a specific time because if it doesn't if you put it in the microwave for 10 minutes it might burn and try putting corn syrup vanilla and sugar in a pot

Delicious and easy to make...I have experimented and subustituted creamy peanut butter for the peanuts. 1-2 tablespoons work great and my older relatives just want to know how it was done without peanuts! Just be creative and let your imagination and taste buds go beyond "NORMAL"!
