Years ago (and I mean YEARS ago), I made peanut brittle in the microwave and then lost the recipe. I recently found a recipe that I decided to try out and I am well pleased with the results!
I love peanut brittle! It is something that I remember my Nana making during the holidays- she did it the old fashioned way. Me? NOPE, anything that requires a candy thermometer is NOT welcome in my house!! I just don't make candy well at all, but this turns out pretty good!!
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup, light
1 cups peanuts, roasted, salted, shelled
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Combine sugar and corn syrup in a 2-quart microwave-safe dish, and microwave on high for 4 minutes.
Add peanuts and microwave on HIGH for four minutes, or until lightly brown. Add butter and vanilla to syrup, stirring well.
Microwave on high for 1 and 1/2 minutes more. Stir baking soda into mixture and mix until foamy.
Pour onto a greased cookie sheet. Allow to cool. Break into pieces when fully cooled.
I tried this and have adapted the times a bit since my peanuts started to burn just a bit in the second microwaving stage...
Hope it works out well for you!!
