734 - Quick Peanut Brittle
(by Shirley McNevich)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 TBSP butter
dash of salt
1/2 cup Kayro lite corn syrup
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups Planter's dry roasted peanuts
Spray a cookie sheet with Pam--set aside (best if cookie sheet has a lip). In a
microwave safe bowl add the dry roasted peanuts, salt, lite corn syrup and white
sugar--stir until mixed. Place bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 3 to 7
minutes (microwaves vary--if you have a low wattage microwave try about 6-7
minutes; if you have a higher wattage microwave try about 3-4 minutes). You will
know the mixture is ready when the peanuts are browned and the corn syrup is
bubbling. Remove from microwave, add vanilla and butter--stir until butter is melted.
Return to microwave and cook another 2 minutes (longer for low wattage
microwaves). Remove from microwave, add the baking soda and stir until mixture is
foaming. Pour the mixture on to the prepared cookie sheet and spread it out with a
greased spatula. Once cool and set, break into pieces. You may have to test thisrecipe out a few times to get the best times to use for cooking with your particular
microwave.
