Microwave Peanut Brittle

I forgot to post this earlier. It is really easy to make and is also a great gift to give. You can use different nuts, like cashews. I usually make it for my father in law....but not this year because I thought that coal brittle wouldnt' turn out too well.

Just beware. This gets REALLY hot! Keep kiddos away!

Microwave Peanut Brittle

Mix in a 9"x9" glass dish:
2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
2 c. raw peanuts

Cook on high in the microwave for 8 minutes. Stir. Cook on high for 8 more minutes.

Add:
5 T. butter
2 tsp vanilla

Stir well. Cook 4 minutes.

Add:
2 tsp. baking soda

Stir.

Pour brittle onto foil (must be foil!) and pull to desired thickness. Let cool and break into pieces.

Bump. Guess I already posted it.
Feeling bad about FIL comment.

This is super tasty and easy.

Thanks for posting, Nellie! I love peanut brittle and this looks like such a simple recipe.
