Do you ever have to throw a treat together in just a few minutes but you want it to look like you slaved over the hot stove all day? Try this peanut brittle recipe that is done in the microwave. No stirring for what seems like eternity and no candy thermometer! Could it get any easier than that? Now, keep in mind that these times work perfectly for my 1000-watt microwave but they might need a little tweaking for your microwave so you'll want to do a practice run before you make it for anyone.
10 Minute Peanut Brittle:
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup raw peanuts
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp baking soda
Directions:
In a large, microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir in the peanuts and microwave another 3-1/2 minutes. Stir in the butter and vanilla and microwave for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in the baking soda. Spread out onto baking sheet and let cool. When it is completely cool break it into smaller pieces and serve.
