Microwave Peanut Brittle
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C. skinned raw peanuts (about 1/2-lb.)
- 1 C. granulated sugar
- 1/2 C. light corn syrup
- Few grains of salt
- 1 Tbs. lightly salted butter or margarine
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. baking soda
Directions
Mix peanuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a glass-mixing bowl. Cook 7 to 9 minutes on high; mixture should be bubbling and peanuts browned. Quickly stir in butter and vanilla; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add baking soda and stir quickly, just until mixture is foamy. Pour immediately onto a greased baking sheet. Let cool 15 minutes or longer. Break up peanut brittle and store in an air-tight container.
