Peanut Brittle
1 C Sugar
1/2 C white corn syrup
1C roasted salted peanuts
1 tsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
extract
1 tsp baking soda
In a 1 half quart
glass casserole stir
together sugar and syrup.
Microwave
high 4 minutes until light brown.
Stir in peanuts
Microwave again for 3 to 5 minutes
Add butter and
vanilla
Microwave 1 to 2 minutes.
(it's very
hot now, careful!!!!)
Add baking soda and gently
stir
until light and foamy.
(don't take to much
time as it sets up quick)
Quickly pour mixture onto
lightly greased
(or Pam) cookie sheet or pizza pan and
spread to 1/4 inch thick.
Cool 15 to 30 minutes and
break into pieces.
Yum!
You may have to adjust
times per microwave.
My times were 4-3-1. (4-4-1
over cooked
peanuts on my microwave). I
would adjust
the middle time up or down, just don't
burn the peanuts.
Also it is nice to have someone
else hold the
casserole dish as you are pouring out
into
the cookie sheet.
