Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle

I wasn't sure how it would taste, but it was good! Just be careful not to microwave too long. I did the 8 minutes the first time and it burned!

EASY MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE

1 c. raw shelled peanuts, skins on
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Stir together peanuts, sugar, syrup and salt in a 1 1/2 quart microwave-safe container. Cook 4 to 8 minutes (until sugar seems dissolved) on high in microwave oven, stirring well after 4 minutes. Stir in butter and vanilla.

Microwave 2 minutes longer on high. (Cooking time may vary with ovens.) Add baking soda and quickly stir until light and foamy. Immediately pour onto lightly greased baking sheet. Spread to 1/4 inch thickness. When cool break into pieces. Store in airtight container. Yields about 1 pound.
