Preparation

Step 1

Equipment: 8-cup, glass measuring cup; metal baking pan; wooden spoon

Butter a metal baking pan, set aside

Mix sugar and corn syrup together in measuring cup (wooden spoon can be left in during cooking). Cook on HI power for 3 min 50 sec

Add raw peanuts and salt. Mix. Cook on Hi power for 3 min 50 sec

Add butter and vanilla. Stir. Cook in microwave on Hi power for 1 min 20 sec (the longer you cook this stage the darker the brittle will be)

Add baking soda. Mix thoroughly. As soon as mixture begins to foam, pour onto prepared baking sheet and scrape bowl with rubber spatula. This step needs to be done very quickly because the brittle will begin to set immediately.

Cool completely before breaking (30-60 minutes)

Hold baking sheet about 6 inches above counter and drop. Do not drop more than once; it will result in crumbs. Break brittle into bite sized pieces.
