Microwave Peanut Brittle


Well I could not believe that this recipe never made it in the cookbook. We all know that Mom made peanut brittle every year for Christmas!!! But sure enough it is not in there!!! So here it is. You may have to make some adjustments on the cooking time, depending on how old or new your microwave is.

Microwave Peanut Brittle
Place in a 3 qt. glass bowl:
1 c. sugar
1 c. raw peanuts
1/2 c. karo
1/8 t. salt
Stir and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir and microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes more. Stir and add 1 T. butter. Microwave 1 minute more. The mixture should be fairly thick, if not; microwave 1 minute more. Add 1 t. baking soda and 1 t. vanilla. Stir well. Pour onto a buttered cookie sheet. Cool and break into pieces.
