Microwave Pecan Brittle

1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
5 tsp. margarine or butter

Cook the above in a microwave-safe glass bowl for 3 minutes.  Then add:

2 cups chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 to 3/4" of slivered paraffin GulfWax

Put back in microwave and cook 7&1/2 minutes.  Take out and stir in 2 tsp baking soda.
Pour into greased pans.  Pour into several pans in order for it to spread out thin.

Peanut Butter Balls

1&1/2 cups of peanut butter
2 sticks butter, softened
1 lb. powdered sugar
1/2 stick Gulf Wax
1 lb. chocolate chips

Melt chocolate and wax together in a double boiler.  Combine the rest of the ingredients and roll into little balls.  Dip the balls into the chocolate using a slotted spoon (a toothpick also works).  Lay them on waxed paper to dry.  It also works well to freeze the balls before dipping them into the chocolate (helps them hold shape better).
