Quick and Delicious Peanut Brittle

This is very crunchy and will keep in a tight fitting container for several weeks. Candy making doesn’t have to be hard.

Peanut Brittle

Thanks to perrylou for sharing this candy recipe.

Brittle can be so time consuming, this brittle only takes only minutes.

1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup corn syrup until all of the sugar is wet. Microwave 4 minutes on high.

When this is finished toss in the vanilla, nuts and butter or margarine, and microwave for an addition 4 minutes on high.

When finished quickly stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda and pour on greased cookie sheet. Being quick is imperative.
