NEVER FAIL MICROWAVE PEANUT
BRITTLE
 
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup

Stir together in 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Microwave on High 4 minutes. Remove add:

1 c. peanuts, salted & roasted

Stir, return to microwave on High 3 to 5 minutes until light brown. Remove and add:

1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Blend well. Return to microwave on High 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and add 1 teaspoon baking soda. Stir until light and fluffy and foamy. Spread on buttered cookie sheet. You must work very fast because it hardens quickly. If you wish you can substitute 7 ounce almonds and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Cool and break into chunks.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
