Microwave Peanut
Brittle
This is one of my favorite microwave candy recipes.
1 cup raw peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Stir together nuts, sugar, syrup,
and salt in a 1 1/2-quart casserole or 4 cup glass measure. Place in microwave oven and
cook 7 to 8 minutes on high, stirring well after 4 minutes. Add butter and blend well.
Return to oven and cook approximately 2 to 3 minutes more on high or until nuts are golden
brown. Add soda and vanilla and gently stir until light and foamy. Pour onto greased
cookie sheet and let cool. When cool, break into pieces and store in airtight container.
Note: If using nuts other than raw
peanuts, stir nuts in after first 4 minutes of cooking.
