MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE



Microwave Peanut Brittle image

This puts store bought peanut brittle to shame. I prefer to use the skinless peanuts because I think the skins are bitter. The amount listed below for the peanuts is if you're using Virginia peanuts. If you're using Spanish peanuts then reduce the amount of peanuts to 1 1/2 cups. Be sure to watch the candy carefully the first time you make it.

Time 15m

Yield 12-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups raw peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

  • Combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a large microwave safe bowl. Mixture will be quite gummy.
  • Microwave on high power for 2 minutes and then stir.
  • Continue microwaving the peanut brittle a couple minutes at a time until the peanuts are a nice roasted brown color. Be sure you're looking at the peanuts themselves and not the syrup surrounding them. The time this takes will vary according to your microwave. When the syrup starts to get really hot you may want to check every minute or less to prevent it from burning.
  • After the peanuts are cooked quickly stir in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
  • Pour the candy out on to a sheet of aluminum foil and spread it as thin as you can get it.
  • Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces.

I had this recipe years ago and managed to lose it, but found a friend at work that had it and I am back in the brittle business. It is extremely easy and quick to make. Since most people have the ingredients in their pantry and freezers, it is a recipe that can be made up in a few minutes if unexpected guest show up.
