Don’t you just love Peanut Brittle? We do, especially around the holidays. It makes a wonderful gift for friends and neighbors and it’s so easy to make. Here’s how we do it.

Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle

  • 1/2 C light Karo syrup
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1 C salted peanuts
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Place the corn syrup and sugar in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.

Add the peanuts, mixing in well, and microwave for 3 more minutes.

Add the vanilla and baking soda, mix well. It is very HOT and it will foam up.

Pour onto a buttered cookie sheet. Let sit for a few minutes to cool, then break apart into pieces.
