Tasty Tuesday: Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle

I just discovered this recipe and had to give it a try. It sure beats standing by a pot and stirring and stirring. BUT I must admit - the pictures below show a half burnt peanut brittle. I don't have pictures of a good one because I was out of peanuts! But the part that was not burnt was GREAT! **So warning - if you have a new microwave shorten the cooking time!!**

Microwave Peanut Brittle Ingredients:

1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 pinch salt

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

1. Start by lining a cookie sheet with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.

2. In a glass bowl mix the peanuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt.

3. Cook these ingredients for 4-6 minutes based on the power of your microwave.

4. Take it out and stir in the butter and vanilla.

(At this point I think my brittle was done)

5. Put it back in the microwave for 2 more minutes (or less!).

6. Quickly stir in the baking soda - it will bubble up and be foamy. Pour it immediately onto the cookie sheet.

7. Let it cool and break it into pieces. Enjoy!
