Another great treat for holiday gifting in pretty tins.
The only tricks to making this recipe is to have everything pre-measured BEFORE starting to microwave, then keeping the recipe handy for referral. And watch out for that 2nd microwaving time. MY microwave only takes 2:45! It all goes fast once you start! =^..^=

How to Make Microwave Peanut Brittle
- 1If you don't have a silicone baking sheet (I love mine!), butter (or use cooking spray to coat) a cookie sheet. Set aside.
- 2In a 1-1/2 quart microwave-safe casserole, stir together the sugar and syrup. Microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes
- 3Stir in the peanuts, then microwave on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 4 minutes. WATCH TO KEEP FROM OVER-BROWNING! When it starts to brown, take it out of the microwave immediately!
- 4Add the margarine and vanilla. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.
- 5Add the baking soda. Stir until light and foamy. Quickly spread THIN on the prepared cookie sheet. Cool 30-60 minutes.
- 6Break into pieces and store airtight. Makes one pound of peanut brittle.
- 7Peanut brittle also makes a great gift!
