Quick and Easy Peanut Brittle Recipe
Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 1½ cups oil-roasted salted peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
  1. Stir together sugar and corn syrup in a 1-quart microwave-safe container. (A bowl or extra-large measuring cup with a handle would be ideal for safe handling.)
  2. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. The mixture will be extremely hot. Stir in peanuts and microwave on high for 3 more minutes. Add butter and vanilla, blending well. Microwave on high for 1 minute more. Add baking soda and stir until foaminess begins to die down about 25 strokes.
  3. Carefully pour the hot mixture onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Use a silicone spatula to empty the bowl and spread the candy out. Cool completely. Break into large pieces and store in an airtight container.
