Microwave on High 17 minutes, stirring once or twice during last half of cooking. Test, using either cold water method (hard ball) or a candy thermometer (250 degrees). If mixture needs more cooking, remove thermometer and cook 1 to 2 minutes. When mixture reaches 250 degrees, add peanuts. Microwave on High 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes or until mixture reaches hard crack (300 degrees). Add vanilla and soda, blending well (mixture will bubble). Pour into buttered cookie sheet. Working quickly, cook partially by lifting edges with spatula so mixture won't stick. When firm, but still warm, turn over. Pull mixture thin; break into pieces.
