Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 Tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction

  • Generously grease a half sheet baking pan, or cover with parchment paper and grease. Set aside.
  • In a large microwavable mixing bowl stir together sugar and corn syrup. Microwave on high power for 3 1/2 minutes.
  • Add peanuts and salt. Stir. Microwave on high power for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Microwave on high between 1 1/2 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't get too dark. See NOTE below.
  • Remove from microwave and add baking soda. Stir.
  • Quickly pour on the prepared baking sheet. Spread into a thin layer. The more you spread the fewer bubbles it will have. So leave it thicker for more airy peanut brittle and spread it thinner for more dense brittle. See NOTE below.
  • Cool completely. Break into pieces.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months.
