Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Microwave Peanut Brittle I have made this brittle dozens of times and it seems to turn out different every time. The cooking times may differ as every microwave is different. You can add pecans, almonds, or walnuts instead of peanuts for something a little different. 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup dash of salt 1 cup peanuts 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside. It must be ready for the hot brittle to be poured on it. In a 3-quart microwave-safe (glass) bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and peanuts. There is no need to stir now. Microwave on high 3 minutes. Remove and stir. Microwave on high 3 1/2 more minutes, until the foam turns light brown. If the edge begins browning before th middle, stir and extra time. Working quickly, immediately stir in the butter and vanilla (be careful, the brittle is very hot and may sputter when vanilla is added). Sprinkle the baking soda ove the surface and stir well. The mixture will foam up and turn creamy looking. Immediately pour mixture onto the foil. Spread out as thin as possible with the back of the spoon. Let the brittle cool thoroughly and then break into pieces. ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
