Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 This is even better when made with cashews!!! YUM YUM - wwjd Undisclosed-Recipient:; Friday, September 12, 2008 8:42 AM Microwave Peanut Brittle One of my daughters made this last night and it was so easy to make, looks beautiful and tasted delicious. It is much easier to make than the the traditional method and tastes just as good. We used some raw peanuts with the skins on in this recipe. This recipe is a keeper. Enjoy, Judy Microwave Oven Peanut Brittle 1 1/2 c. peanuts 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. light corn syrup 1 T butter (we used Smart Balance Light Spread, which is vegan) 1 t. vanilla extract 1 t. baking soda Grease a baking sheet and set aside. In a glass bowl, combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook in microwave for 6-7 minutes on high: mixture should be bubbly and peanuts browned. Stir in butter and vanilla and cook 2-3 minutes longer. Quickly stir in the baking soda, just until mixture is foamy. Pour immediately onto prepared baking sheet. Let cook for 15 minutes or until set. Break into medium size pieces and store in an airtight container. Yeilds 16 servings.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I also think that next time we might even try using wax paper instead of spraying the pan. - wwjd Friday, September 12, 2008 12:23 PM Re: Microwave Peanut Brittle I'm sure it would work.
