Microwave Peanut Brittle Made At Home

 

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup salted nuts (can use any variety nut from almond to ??)
1 tsp. baking soda

      In a 1-1/2 qt. glass casserole, stir sugar and syrup.  Microwave on High 4 minutes.  Remove from microwave, stir in nuts.  Return to microwave 3 - 5 minutes, until light golden brown.  Remove from microwave, add butter (or margarine), vanilla to hot syrup and nut mixture.  Mix well.  Return to microwave 1 - 2 minutes.  Nuts will be lightly brown, syrup will be extremely hot.  Remove from microwave, add baking soda, gently stir until light and foamy.  Pour mixture onto a well-buttered cookie sheet.  Smooth and pull out to sides of pan as best you can.  Cool 30 - 60 minutes.  Break into bite-size pieces, store in air-tight container.  Do not double!
