Quick and Delicious Brittle – this only takes 8 minutes to make.

May 14, 2009

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

1 C. granulated sugar
1/2 C. white corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C. nuts of your choice
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. baking soda

Mix 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.
