1200 WATT MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a baking/cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray or grease with butter.
• Put 1 tablespoon molasses in a ½ cup measuring cup and then fill with corn syrup (spray cup with cooking spray first, so corn syrup will come out easier).
• Put corn syrup mixture and white sugar in an eight cup bowl and mix well then microwave on high for 2 minutes, remove and stir and then microwave for 1 more minute.
• Remove from microwave and add peanuts, stir into bubbling sugar mixture and microwave for 2 minutes.
• Remove from microwave and then stir in butter and vanilla and microwave for 1 minute.
• Remove from microwave and quickly stir in baking soda - it will get somewhat white and foamy - spread out onto baking sheet - you can let it cool at room temperature or cool in the fridge. Put mixing bowl cup in sink under hot running water to aid in cleanup.
• * I add the molasses because it gives the brittle a beautiful color - it is not required to make the recipe - if you don't want to use it, just use a full ½ cup of corn syrup. Watch out with sampling - this stuff is habit forming - if you want to bump it up a notch - add 1 teaspoon cinnamon to sugars at begining (my daughter and I like) or if you really want to kick up it up - add the cinnamon and 1/3 teaspoon caynne pepper - hot stuff. I love the sweet and spicy.

MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a large microwave safe bowl. Mixture will be quite gummy.
• Microwave on high power for 2 minutes and then stir.
• Continue microwaving the peanut brittle a couple minutes at a time until the peanuts are a nice roasted brown color. Be sure you're looking at the peanuts themselves and not the syrup surrounding them. The time this takes will vary according to your microwave. When the syrup starts to get really hot you may want to check every minute or less to prevent it from burning.
• After the peanuts are cooked quickly stir in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
• Pour the candy out on to a sheet of aluminum foil and spread it as thin as you can get it.
• Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
