- Here's an easy one, which is a family favorite.
-
- Peanut Brittle
-
- -- Ingredients --
-
- 1 C. Spanish peanuts
- 1 C. white sugar
- 1/2 C. light corn syrup
-
- 1 T. butter
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp. salt
-
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
-
- -- Method --
- Mix well the first three ingredients in a large glass bowl. Microwave
- for 4 minutes on high**. Stir well. Microwave for another 4 minutes
- on high**.
-
- To the above mixture, add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt.

-
- Pour quickly into a 9" x 13" buttered pan.

- **Note: the temperature at which to set your microwave varies
- according to its maximum power. If your microwave is 700
- watts, as mine is, I suggest that you use a slightly lower
- setting, such as medium high, or you may have trouble with
- the mixture burning.
