Peanut brittle is a sweet treat that's easy to make in the microwave. Try it with other nuts besides peanuts, too.
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
Combine in a large casserole dish and microwave on high for four minutes. Stir occasionally.
1 cup peanuts (or other nuts)
Add peanuts to the above mixture and microwave on high for three to five minutes. Stir occasionally.
1 tsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
Stir in butter and vanilla and microwave for one or two more minutes. The nuts will be lightly browned and the syrup will be HOT.
1 tsp soda
Add soda and stir in gently until the mixture is light and foamy. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet and let cool for half an hour. Crack into pieces and enjoy!
