A friend gave me some of this a few years ago for Christmas and I couldn't stop eating it. I thought it was the best thing I ever tasted, so I got the recipe from her and now I make it for gifts.

- Grease a cookie sheet and spatula with butter or margarine. Combine sugars and corn syrup in a large microwave bowl (it will boil up pretty high). Microwave, uncovered, on high for 4 min. Stir in nuts, butter and salt. Microwave 4 more min. Remove from microwave and quickly stir in soda. It will become light and foamy. Quickly pour onto prepared cookie sheet, spreading thin. When cooled break into pieces and store in air tight container.
- For an extra treat add 4 tbl chopped pickled jalapeno and a few drops of green food coloring when you add the nuts. This makes a good Christmas present.
