10 Minute Never Fail Microwave Peanut Brittle

 Jill Dalrymple says:
I just made a "fool proof" recipe (not this one, but similar) for microwave peanut brittle... and failed. It's totally burnt, and I followed the recipe to a "t". I think my microwave might be too powerful, so I liked the above suggestions of only cooking for 6 minutes. For those of you who did that, did you stir after the first 3 minutes?

I tried this.. however after being in the microwave for 8 minutes my brittle was already very brown and burnt smelling -- So I started over and only microwaved it for a total of 6 minutes and it seems to have come out much better -- Maybe my microwave is too powerful?

Super easy & very good. It's spreads easier if the cookie sheet is heated.
