This recipe is for a 600 watt microwave. Adjust accordingly for higher or lower wattage.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

Butter a large cookie sheet pan well and set aside.

Combine sugar, corn syrup and salt in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Stir in peanuts. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stirring after 2 and 4 minutes, until syrup and peanuts are lightly browned.

Stir in butter, vanilla and baking soda until light and foamy. Spread to 1/4 inch thickness on a well buttered cookie sheet pan.

For very thin peanut brittle, cool on cookie sheet 3 to 5 minutes. Lift from pan and stretch to desired thickness.
