MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE? NO KIDDING.



Microwave Peanut Brittle? No kidding. image

My sister sent this to me, she said it tastes just like our grandmother's recipe. I thought she was joking. Turns out it makes darn decent peanut brittle, though not as good as our grandmother's. And, in honor of my grandmother, I'll post her original recipe next.

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.

Categories     Candy

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.
