Microwave 1 1/2-2 minutes. Remove from oven; add baking soda. Gently stir until mixture is light and foamy. Pour immediately onto prepared cookie sheet, spread out with buttered spatula.

This step must be done quickly or brittle will start to harden in bowl. Cool for 30 minutes to an hour. Break into pieces.

Makes about 1/2 pound peanut brittle.

Remember that all microwave ovens are different! Cooking times may need to be adjusted for your oven for best results.
